Revisiting A Bold ClaimIn 2015, Berger suggested that Homo Naledi intentionally placed their dead in the cave, a proposal that drew both interest and skepticism. The authors conclude that intentional burial remains the most likely scenario based on the available evidence. In some cases, the burials appear to have been disturbed, possibly by later groups of Homo Naledi displacing earlier ones. Cognitive ImplicationsIf these actions were intentional, it would mean Homo Naledi practiced mortuary behavior more than 100,000 years before the earliest Homo sapiens burials. The findings from Homo Naledi add further complexity to this picture.
