Now THIS is Interesting
When discoveries like this are made, it reminds me there is so much about our own planet and our species we have yet to learn:
The fossilised bones of 15 bodies from a previously unknown human species have been unearthed from the depths of an underground graveyard, in a discovery scientists say could change the history of mankind.
About 1,500 fossils were found deep in a cave system outside Johannesburg, hidden in a deep underground chamber only accessible via several steep climbs and rock cavasses.

Re: Now THIS is Interesting
"Homo naledi" bears a striking resemblance to several current members of the U.S. Congress and many of the cluster of repubs running like cavemen for the presidential nomination.
You might surmise that we really haven't evolved that far.

Wow!
For anyone who's in to abstract history, consider this: Why did someone feel they needed to bury these remains so far underground?
The possibilities are endless. Supernatural abilities. Raging disease. A people so consumed by evil that they never really died.
My head's spinning with this.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Now more bones or at least a skull have been discovered in the roots of an old tree.
