Anthropology blog 2- homo naledi and homo sapian

So... homo-naledi, pretty crazy right? If the time line of when the fossils were dated holds up this means that the homo-naledi lived during the early middle stone ago, when you actually think about that, it was not too long ago that the homo-naledi lived. During this time the homo-neanderthalensis and the homo-erectus lived. When the homo-naledi died off, us, the homo sapiens had just started. However, reading many articles publishes beforehand, no one could initially agree on exactly when the homo-naledi lived. While dating techniques for bones are quite advanced now, quite a few of the would-be dating processes could prove detrimental to the fossil and could potentially destroy it completely. In the end there was rigorous testing of the bones to find an exact date of the bones and eventually came to the conclusion that the homo-naledi lived about 335,000 years ago. Unknown to researchers more remains of the homo naledi were found next to the original cave the first remains were found, which we will talk about in the next entry.
