Everything about Naledi is bullshit.

They found a fury cave monkey man. This fury cave
monkey man shared some DNA with some modern
Africans.

wow that's totally shocking omg how can this be true
no way it's a blizzard of unfathomable thought oh gosh
that's what it is oh me oh me golly..

We share most of our DNA with Chimps, for Christ's
sake!

So they dug out Naledi, found this DNA and the locals,
the people with power, locally, got all pissed off. They
said this, the locals. They made it quite clear that they
were pissed off. They hated pulling some little fury
cave monkey-man out of the ground. They said it would
be used against them. They said it would be used as
proof that they, black people, are inferior...

AND THEN Lee Berger "Discovers" that Naledi had a
modern brain, and it was MASSIVE, bigger than Chimps,
and buried it's dead, wrote epithets, breathed smoke,
built hang gliders... invented microwave ovens...

No other Homo buried it's dead in Africa for TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF YEARS. No, Naledi was clearly more
advanced. Perhaps more advanced than Eurasian Homo.

Neanderthals didn't have these modern brains or write
epithets to their dead. But Naledi, see, Naledi could do
all these things plus 10 hundred million others.

And the digging goes on. You can say what you want
about all these crazy "Reports" on Naledi, but the local
powers who were angry and were going to stop them
from digging are no longer angry and they haven't stopped
these white folks from digging.

Wow. Something changed. Like, at exactly the same time
Lee Berger was recovering the modern brains and
prepared burials -- plus the wireless radio sets Naledi was
working on, even if they hadn't quite perfected them yet --
even as Lee Berger was making these announcements,
the local powers SUDDENLY and without any explanations
stopped seeing Naledi as a racist tool against them, stopped
being angry and no longer wanted to shut down the digs.

Wow. Now THAT is a coincidence!
