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.

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.

I viewed it 2 times, learned much, much more than last I heard a talk on Naledi. Surprised they existed so recently. Thanks for such a dense learning experience.

Excellent! Very well done and meticulous! I've been wanting to learn what has been found out about Homo Naledi in the ongoing research on this amazing find. It appears Homo Naledi will be teaching us a great deal of new concepts over the years ahead. I would love it if DNA could be extracted. Wouldn't that be something! Lee Berger must be the luckiest paleoanthropologist ever and he deserves it. Such a great guy!

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.

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 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.

What an interesting program! Since I love cars, I've usually see videos on cars but now I'm mostly glued to videos of human origins. Really remarkable facts especially on the Naledi species. I didn't know they could be so different while at the same time, living during our Homo Sapien era.

The concept of burying one’s dead is something I get into in my historical geology classes. I shall add this to my lectures, thanks.

great comment on the impression that that chimps make on many of us - I liked the images of Naledi very much and totally agree with your impression

Thanks for the great video. My wild guess is that a tribe/family was chased far into the tunnel, and perhaps had their escape blocked. They were very deep onto the cave. They may have died from smoke inhalation or starvation, as their enemy unsuccessfully searched the cave.

my favorite thought of homo naledi is thinking of how scary the cave mustve been for newer individuals, i can imagine youd have to be pretty calm to make it through as an even slighter bigger person.

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.

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.

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.

Another awesome video! Thanks for all the info and please keep making these types of vids!

Thank you so much for this great video. As a neuroscientist who knows nothing about paleontology, i found it really interesting.

Great video, thank you so much for the work you put in.

It was a while back when I came across a description of the circumstances of what I think is this site (at my age, 2013 seems fairly recent), and a narration of the process of collecting the specimens, but there was not much of a picture painted of the creatures therein at that time. I really appreciate the work that went into your detailed presentation of the salient features of the remains and your careful, balanced description of the possible abilities and lifestyle of Homo Naledi. I feel like I now have a handle, at least, on "the rest of the story". Thank you.

Great documentary!! I arrived here after watching the Netflix's documentary about Homo Naledi. Currently, I have a more complet understanding about Homo Naledi, I think Netflix's documentary appeals to emotional aspects, and your video help to consider more facts, evidence and contrast analysis in a more rational way, that's better for not romanticizing Homo Naledi. Thanks for your amazing diffusion of paleoanthropology!!

Thank you for these productions. Your Ancient Humans series were helpful when i was struggling with my sleep. It's a compliment ;)

Thank you for going into so much detail. I've been wanting to get more information on Niledi and this has been perfect.

Thank you for this very fine video. Very good detail, and insight. I believe this is my 2nd time I watched this.

Yes! talk about a quality production 🙌🏼

I'm thoroughly enjoying these presentations - so well paced and I like the fact that you are guarded about making conclusions. Excellent

Excellent video, the best so far! Thankyou North.

Your videos are so detailed. Thank you!
