Entombed in a limestone shelf of South Africa’s Rising Star Cave, the fragmented skull of a Homo naledi child has suggested that the prehistoric species may have been more similar to modern humans than previously thought.

Two new studies, published this week in the journal PaleoAnthropology, have revealed new details about the mysterious Homo naledi people, based on a set of fossils first discovered in 2017, which are believed to be that of a young Homo naledi of 4- to 6-years-old.

An international team of researchers has estimated the child would have lived between 236,000 and 335,000 years ago, before finding their final resting place in an extremely narrow passage of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Malmani dolomites of South Africa’s Gauteng province, CNN reported.

Monty Python with the reconstruction of the fossilized toe comes to mind.

(filing down the aisle of an airliner); “Henry, did you see that ugly baby?”
(another couple files past); “Is that the ugliest baby you ever saw, or what?”
(next guy files past and sees the mom w/ the baby is crying): “Is something wrong?”
“People are making fun”
“There, there. They probably mean nothing by it. Ana here’s a banana for your monkey.”

Hate to break it to them because they obviously think otherwise. But that partial skull was once a monkey.

RE: Mysterious naledi before humans....

It’s Greta!

The ancients had millions of them. Warning to us in the future was “don’t the the Gretas multiply or you’re finished.”

My niece had genealogy done by National Geographic when they were doing that. Bloodline goes back to southeast African coast. One of the first to get out of there, eventually arrived on the east coast of the Med, traveled across the continent until they reached the west coast. From there they went to. Spain, and eventually on up by ship to Ireland. It took thousands of years.

My old friend Mo Asch thought I was Jewish. When I told him my ancestors came from Ireland, he said, “That explains it.” And told me all of this. Decades later, my niece’s papers proved him right.

All of this signifying very little if not nothing.

That is correct, no, they did not find the fossil of some evolutionary creature.

Do not tell anyone that it was Kamala Harris’s ancient abortion from another preceding lifetime.

We do not want anything to interfere with Kamala’s reincarnate rise to the presidency.

Because evolution of cross-filing boundaries is impossible. Plus the faithfulness of DNA replication itself through many of zerve lifetimes of different species in the last 80 years has shown that there is no possibility of a monkey becoming a man or a fish becoming a whale or a whale becoming a rhinoceros or a buffalo and there is no science that backs it up.
