H. naledi was not at 2 to 3 million years. It was at 250,000 years ago. That was staggering to the world. It violated the idea that we had been in this continuous, ever-increasing brain size race, where the bigger-brained species like first Homo habilis, then Homo erectus, then humans and Neanderthals would wipe out all other species around it. Yet there we were, H. naledi, at a much later date, when we thought only modern humans lived in Africa.

Remarkable! I believe that some day primitive fossils like these will be found with an even newer date.

Thank you for posting the entire transcript in a readable format - I know how much time that consumes as I do it myself most days. Thank you again!
