I'm relieved there are those paying attention to erroneous conjectures.
More than anything, there are archeologists who thirst for the day they can pin down humankind in an evolutionary frame. They try so hard.
Ascribing human characteristics to species not having anything to do with humanity is not new by any means. Is this likened to a chess game with a checkmate eventually coming in the realization humankind did not arise from standard evolution?
The fact that for generations scientists have insisted, and even published, their "findings" as the reality, have saturated society with this readily acceptable heresy and "common sense" pseudo fact, when the verdict is far from in.
There is no closure to this conundrum, though still to this day the closing proof is elusive at best.

No, it isn't. This about whether Naledi buried it's dead and produced cave art. It has nothing to do with human evolution.

This is about attempting to portray the Naledi as human. They weren't.
The label of hominin has been widely built up due to erroneous conjectures from the beginning of this long debate, which is no debate.
From reconstructing Denisovan physiology by examining a fingernail, to these attempts in attributing ancient, archaic species of ape to early hominins, as if modern humans evolved from this.
Let's place the confirmed evolution of humans on the front page of every news source. Volumes of information and material espousing the validity of human evolution is theory. Still.
