Graves in the Dark: What Hominin Burials Really Mean Introduction: Why Burials Matter Across the deep past of our lineage, few questions generate as much debate as whether a hominin buried its dead. The practice is often seen as a hallmark of humanit…

New EP Out! Did #Homonaledi, or even other #hominins bury their dead before modern #Humans? What would it mean if they did, and why is it such a big deal? How should we treat these remains? Are they human? Listen, Watch, and Read on to find out more! worldofpaleoanthropology.org/2025/09/17/g...

Homo naledi may have practiced burial 120,000 years before humans

A new peer-reviewed eLife study suggests Homo naledi buried its dead over 120,000 years before Homo sapiens, based on three chambers in South Africa's Rising Star cave. getnews.me/homo-naledi-may-have-pra... #homonaledi #burial

Human Evolution: The many mysteries of Homo naledi

#Homonaledi was announced #OTD in 2015. Here is my commentary, published that day. Human Evolution: The many mysteries of Homo naledi doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Chat with Dr. Berger about Homo naledi and its implications for human origins.

Evidence for deliberate burial of the dead by Homo naledi Remains of the extinct hominin species Homo naledi were interred by members of their own species, the first time that burial has been documented in populations other than modern humans and Neanderthal...

Claims that a small-brained hominin called #HomoNaledi buried its dead raise intriguing questions about ancient minds and why we engage in this peculiar practice.

This hand? 250,000 years old.
Curved fingers for climbing. A thumb built for tools.
Homo naledi was ancient—but weirdly advanced.
Cave explorer? Toolmaker? Burial boss?
Either way…
🖐️ Nailed it.

Homo naledi's burial practices could change what it means to be human If ancient humans with brains a third the size of our own buried their dead, as some archaeologists are claiming, then our species may be less special than we thought

#Burial isn’t just a Homo sapiens thing. From #Neanderthals in #Shanidar to the mysterious Homo naledi in #RisingStarCave, more #hominins may have laid their dead to rest than we once thought.

#HomoNaledi

While the #Homonaledi fossils from the #Dinaledi subsystem tend to get all the attention the impressive fossils from the Lesedi chamber such as the Neo partial skeleton was not buried in the same way The body was first placed in an alcove then covered with sediments. Lots of mysteries to solve.

While we prepare for an expedition at the #105site with @MaxPlanck our exploration team is working in the tight spaces of the #Risingstarcave mapping cultural sites thought to be made by #Homonaledi. These are some of the most experienced cave explorers in the world and we are very proud of them!
