[blah, blah, blah-blah, blah]
All of this is quite consistent with animals drawn in by the cool, damp air in search of a water source, like during a draught, only to be trapped in
the darkness & die.
It's an excellent argument AGAINST intentional burial, as the animals depositing the dead deep within the pitch black depths of the cave
would then have to find their way out...
Just look at their call for team members! They advertised for small
people with climbing experience. And that's now, in the modern word,
when we have lights, night vision, ropes., cameras and communications.
What did Naledi have?
It's like a giant lobster trap: They went in, they got stuck. They couldn't find their way back out.
Nothing is consistent with burial.
I've never done anything like that, but
I presume that if you had a long rope (or
even a thin cord) which you laid out as
a trail, you could follow it back IN THE
DARK to the entrance. They'd have had
torches but, on occasion (or even fairly
often), they'd all have gone out and re-
lighting them in such damp conitions
was probably impossible. Also, they
would have operated in teams, and
'rescuers' with torches would, after
some agreed interval, have sought
out members who had not returned
on time.
The operation of transporting a body
to that remote chamber would probably
have needed multiple trips, so a semi-
permanent rope guide might have been
installed..
Torches, rope, small size, a life-time's
practice and a cultural inheritance.
Nothing is consistent with burial.
Except the use of special far-distant
chambers for multiple bodies.

Yes. There's a drought on, the animals are suffering from great thirst
and they are drawn deep into the cave by the cool, moist air in search
of water.

1) Naledi has 0 to do with "aa land" (aq.ape?).
Probably the same fools who believe their ancestors ran after antelopes also believe Naledi was Homo.
Most likely, naledi was Pan naledi, fossil subgenus Australopithecus,
google "ape human evolution made easy PPT verhaegen".
2) Naledi was probably aquarboreal: bipedally wading & vertically climbing in swamp forests.
They didn't drown, but when they died they fell into the mud -> mudstone -> fossilisation,

Again, because the emotional damage you suffered did not allow you to register it the last time, if there had been standing water they would have drank it, instead of delving further & further into the cave before becoming trapped and slowly dying.
It's kind of a requirement, this lack of standing water...

"Overall, weathering patterns of the bone surfaces are consistent with the effects of sub-aerial and sub-surface processes in a periodically wet or water-saturated, dark depositional environment that experienced stable temperatures."
"Limited weathering (physical and chemical) indicative of sub-aerial, sub-surface processes in a periodically wet or water-saturated, dark environment (Figure 10) indicate that the bones were never exposed to the earth's surface and elements (the sun and rain) outside the cave (Lyman and Fox, 1989; Backwell et al., 2012; Junod and Pokines, 2013)."Caves are almost universally consistently damp and cool. If the surface entrance exuded the scent of humid air in an arid drought, many species would have detected it and attempted to enter for refreshment, gotten trapped and died leaving skeletons.

“We need perhaps three or four individuals with excellent
archaeological/paleontological excavation skills for a short term
project that may kick off as early as November 1st 2013 and last
the month if all logistics go as planned. The catch is this – the
person must be skinny and preferably small. They must not be
claustrophobic, they must be fit, they should have some caving
experience, climbing experience would be a bonus. They must be
willing to work in cramped quarters, have a good attitude and be
a team player.
No mention of "high humidity"...
Google "caving humidity".
The applicants were required to have
caving experience, and so would have
known about the constant humidity.
No need to tell them.
Berger mentions in his videos about
the initial discovery that the first guys
to see the fossils found their cameras
would not work. The humidity was
so high.

Those caves!
See https://twitter.com/johnhawks?lang=en
John Hawks and Lee Berger recently went into
the 'entrance' to the system, squeezing through
the 'superman crawl'. It's been widened, and
can now take over-weight middle aged men.
See the brief videos.
Even with light the complexity of the various
chamber and passages are confusing. It's a
3-dimensional puzzle. The entrance to the
'superman crawl' is far down in the cave, well
beyond any light. I hadn't realised that the
"dragon's back" was a narrow ridge, with a
steep fall of several metres if you slipped.

No one would ever go so far into such a cave
without light. The absence of animal fossils
of all other species tells you that.

Well seeing how you missed it the first 900 times, the crazies think it was

Again, you're oblivious to the last 900 times this was gone over, and you know doubt view this as an accomplishment, but the cool moist air from

I would have been disappointed if I had seen an intelligent

HINT: If something is really good at finding water, and there's
no water there, only moist air, they are not going to go down
there. BECAUSE they're really good at finding water and there's
no water, just moist air...
"Water" is a noun yet, and I hope you are sitting for this, the
noun in my statement is "Air."
"Moist" is an adjective.

No. "Moist" as in "Moist air" is an adjective while "Water" as in "I
drink water" is a noun.
Adjectives /Describe/ nouns. They are not nouns themselves.
"Moist" is to "Air" what "Tall" is to "Man."
