It’s absolutely fascinating how to watch these latest, greatest discoveries of new hominids in the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa as they happened. The viewer witnesses spectacular science unfolding right in front of the eyes as if the viewer is part of the expedition.
Social media were employed by the lead scientist Lee Berger to find tiny archaeologists for the three week project to dig up the bones of the Rising Star cave. 50 some people applied immediately hailing from all over the world of which were many (petite) women.
Earliest Human Burial?
Nobody can be sure at this point, but the many humanoid bones found deep inside the Rising Star cave without the presence of any other animal bones suggest this was perhaps even a burial place perhaps dating up to 2 million years old.
