As someone who has been watching your videos since the beginning, I am so impressed at the amount of growth you have shown in just about every area - video quality, the way the information is organized and presented, and perhaps the area of growth most notable is simply your own personal competence and professionalism. I remember the first couple of videos in which I seriously thought of volunteering my services as a pronunciation coach-but then checked myself at my own arrogance, and just sat back and watched. Now, even in a longer format video there is not one little hitch to distract from your wonderfully mellifluous voice, which was one of the things that caught my attention in the first place. It is obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into not only content, but presentation, and it is enormously appreciated. Congratulations on creating a genuinely superb channel!

[@Ingeb91]

Personally, I'm not at risk of putting too much weight on the burial stuff. I'm far more fascinated by their skeletons telling us they've got shoulders for climbing, hands for fine motor control, feet that can both run and climb, the hips and butts of humans, and chips on their teeth, that in and of themselves look more modern than I'd have expected. That already tells me a ton, which you pointed out, and of course in much more detail than I could have pieced together myself(hats off dude, this is great work). Sitting here, thinking and imagining how a Naledis ankle would look as it gets grip on it's way up a tree, and how the same ankle would look running, these are the things I like to think about, the mechanisms of the organism, that show how we might have seen them move in the woodlands, as we ran past in our larger, more mobile hunting forces. How we probably could have wiped them out if we wanted to, but we likely saw no need for it, as they weren't competing with us. The interactions like that would be really cool to see, and we'll likely never quite know how peaceful these different lineages of Homo were towards one another, during this much richer time in terms of diversity of Homo species. I really can't get enough of these videos, as they force my brain to think about these things much deeper than I did before. I appreciate that, likely more than you'll ever know, and I hope you keep putting in this incredible amount of work into these big project videos. I'll surely be here to watch them.

[@communication001]

I'd like to see the naledi as something else. If you look at docs on the morrocan skulls from jebel irhoud they're saying the frontal lobe isn't yet well developed. Yey by an hundred thousand years later we've jumped to something else and there's not missing link. Well maybe we need to think of a small hominid species being all over the planet with the brain that has the ability to do things like build boats and island hop to the philipines. If these traits can be selected as a result of interbreeding then its possible we favourably selected out the frontal lobe of naledi whilst retaining the features of erectus. i just feel peole beed to take naledi more seriously. A fear of escaping the expected model is translating into an idea of such ideas being any more speculative than anything else on the table. The table is turned and we've got to look at it in a completely different way.

[@matchrocket1702]

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. My thoughts lingered, though, on how Homo Naledi's remains came to be deep within the cave. My thinking is that there was once a much easier way into that particular place, perhaps from above. They would use that place for a ritual or to place their dead as mentioned in your presentation. But some calamity such as an earthquake closed off that easier pathway and blocked it off forever.

[@savvygood]

It also could have been one single troop that got lost?

[@matchrocket1702]

@@savvygood I didn't think of that. Excellent possibility.

[@wnchstrman]

Accidental deposition (died in the cave). This should be obvious, yet still everyone is high on hopium for deliberate burial because it would be the earliest example of this. Examine the placement of the various skeletons in the chamber, and the nature and layout of the cave, then realize they got stuck and died. Over several generations, lots of them met this fate. This is the ONLY explanation for healthy individuals, including and especially juveniles, ending up in a deep cave without predation.

[@savvygood]

@@wnchstrman yes 🙌 If there was an opening for 30,000 years and one fell in every 1000 years. This happened with mammoths in a cave near my house. There were plenty of different species in that case. I watched a few lectures by this Dr on the excavation and he mentioned that there were no other species in the cave other than a few owls. That’s one of the reasons he gave for the burial hypothesis. Why didn’t they find a whole variety of animals?

[@wnchstrman]

@@savvygood Only humans go wandering around in caves for fun. Curiosity kills sometimes, especially in caves. Modern humans frequently meet a similar fate as these archaic humans did, and very likely for the same reasons. Get lost while exploring the fascinating unknown, then maybe call for help, ensnaring mom and baby too (she will not set the baby down outside, she will carry the infant with her while searching for the child). Why no other animals is pretty simple: First, other animals primarily function strictly in their natural habitats and do not seek out the dark depths of the unknown. Secondly, cave dwelling animals have either keen night vision, or other senses for navigation in pitch black caves that humans do not.

When meeting a female Naledi in the wild, always tip your fedora and say: N'lady. It's just common courtesy.

[@williamromine5715]

@@wnchstrman Yet, he said the evidence suggests otherwise. Some bodies had been dead for some length of time before being in the cave. Also, what were they doing in the one area of the cave before accidentally being killed? There is no evidence that the cave was used as living space. It's hard to understand what they were doing in the to that distance from the mouth. Since it appears they didn't live in the cave, and the difficulty in getting to the chambers, along with a lack of reliable light source, something very important to them would have been needed to compel them to go in there. It could be to save their dead from being eaten by preditors and scavengers. Having watched, at a safe distance, their clan members being consumed, might have been enough for them to carry their dead into the cave. Pure speculation on my part, of course.

Based on the cave opening could bone location and positioning be achieved simply by dropping the bodies into a narrow shaft, or does their location and positioning suggest lateral transportation outside the gravitational deposit area? In other words, are the bones located in an area that gravity or erosion cannot explain?

[@UltrEgoVegeta]

The are in a very hard to access chamber and yes fossils we're found in places gravity can't explain

[@CrabDancer64]

I always find it devastating when I hear that our ancestors only lived to fifteen years old. I just always feel like it doesn't seem right that such amazing creatures who made us, who live several decades, only lived one or two

[@Itried20takennames]

That was sadly true even just a 120 years ago or so…before modern vaccines, it wasn’t uncommon for roughly half of kids to die of infectious disease before reaching adulthood, and you can see this in older cemeteries (where of 6 kids, 3 died as kids,etc).

Could two human species really evolve in the same niche, in the same region? Maybe H. Sapiens did not actually evolve in South Africa. H. Naledi died out as soon as modern humans arrived, just like Flores Hobbits

[@hellefur6631]

There are bothe lions, cheetas and leopards in the same niche and region, as big cat predators. But the difference are the prey and hunting method. Same goes for the difference spiecies of hominin. They habitat the same areas, or they overcross theire territories. As North said, H. Naledi was more to unprocessed fruit, berries, nuts (roots?), insects and smal prey (rodents, lizards, snakes & birds?). While H.sapiens ate prossesed food, and proberbly larger prey, and of course fruits, berries, nuts, roots, herbs & grass seeds.

@@hellefur6631 Hard to believe we never mated them. So like you say they are eating the same foods which means they were competing.

[@lizblock9593]

He pretty clearly described that they were in the same region but very different niches (habitat, diet) which is what allowed them to coexist.

[@threestackable3655]

North, another amazing video. Your ability to crank these videos out and pack so much info into such "short" videos is admirable. My question to you, is why are you so vitriolic towards the sasquatch phenomenon? You've adamantly, well, mocked for lack of a better word , even the thought of an undescribed North American Ape, but you've never really stated your position. You are incredibly well versed in anthropology, so you of all people should be open to the idea, had you given any time to actually research the phenomenon and the evidence and postulations this far. I feel that if you made a video stating your hypothesis or lack there of, you could be categorically challenged, and you might just learn a thing or two. Those in search of the North American Wood Ape need allies, and you could prove to be a valuable addition to the cause to gain academic acceptance for the species so they may be protected. The way you understand the subject matter leads me to believe that you haven't really looked into the sasquatch phenomenon, other than to, well, shit on it. Don't do yourself a disservice by ignoring it. Your previous stance may well prove to be embarrassing, once a type specimen has been collected. Regardless of your stance on the Wood Ape, I truly do enjoy the hell out of your videos. Please do more! Thank you for doing a great job in your Homo Habilis video, they are my faves and often don't get the fanfare of neanderthal and erectus

[@jamesjoseph5707]

We need an Example. Without one it wont be taken seriously.

[@threestackable3655]

@@jamesjoseph5707 Yes, a type specimen. But for academics to completely discount the idea and not do any research is intellectually dishonest. It is not a question to me "do they exist". I'm past that. I've had repeated encounters in areas all over north America throughout my life, and spend at least a month in the woods per year collecting data. This phenomenon would be solved if we had the resources of academia.
