the latest on the ancient origins of humans -
Hominins as Homo Naledi was burying its dead at 200,000 years ago....in holes in walls....
characterized by a baffling mix of primitive (small brain, shoulder/pelvis) and modern (hands, feet, lower limbs) traits, living surprisingly late (236k-335k years ago) alongside early Homo sapiens,
Homo Naledi has modern human traits (and could possibly speak) - traits not found in Homo Erectus...the Hobbit species evolved out of Homo Erectus....
Homo Sapiens were smaller brains than Neanderthals but by relying on cooperation as social cognition then Homo Sapiens could support larger populations....
100,000 years ago there were nine different human (homo) species....living at the same time....
500,000 to 700,000 years ago Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens had a common ancestor....
