Expanded explorations of the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system

[Pandora]

Expanded Explorations of the Dinaledi Subsystem, Rising Star Cave
System, South Africa.

Abstract

The Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system has yielded a
large assemblage of fossil hominin material, attributed to Homo
naledi. The unusual taphonomic and geological situation of the
assemblage suggested that the remains may have been deliberately
deposited in the chamber. However, the route and mechanism of
deposition of the remains within the Dinaledi Chamber are still
uncertain. During the 2017—2018 field seasons, we expanded
explorations of the passages surrounding the Dinaledi Chamber. These
explorations improved our understanding of the cave’s spatial
complexity, necessitating a revision of the way the spaces are named
and described. The work supported the hypothesis that there is no
alternate entrance into the system other than the Chute. The work also
identified new fossil deposits in several remote passages, three of
which contain material attributable to H. naledi. Here, we clarify the
definition of the Dinaledi Subsystem and provide terminology for new
fossil localities found in this portion of the Rising Star cave
system. These results emphasize the complex depositional environment
of the Dinaledi Subsystem and raise new questions about the process
and timing of the fossil accumulations.

Why? What is the evidence for this?

I've never seen anything to support such a claim. I've been hearing it
beginning with the very first articles but I've never seen this claim
worked out.

I look but, I don't see any reason to assume that these are intentional
burials. My immediate impression was that animals pushed deeper
and deeper into the blackness, chasing cooler, damper air in the
hopes of finding a water source during a drought, only to be trapped
in a pitch black hole in the ground without food and water.

That seemed like the most plausible explanation to me... the most
obvious. But even that is assuming that what they report as facts
bears some resemblance to reality, and quite frankly there is no
reason to assume that.

Remember when they "Reported" that it was over 2 million years
old, which turned out to be utterly baseless?

It was literally a circular argument. A classic example of circular
reasoning. They assumed it was a human ancestor, and as such
the invented a date where they might plausibly fit it on the timeline,
given it's morphology, so their CONCLUSION -- "human ancestor" --
resulted in the dating that supported the conclusion.

And what photographic/video evidence that exists shows them
mishandling the finds, contaminating them rather aggressively.

Bare hands, uncovered hair & faces... so much for DNA, right?

And what about the modern brain, or the brain with "Modern
Features" which doesn't seem to have actually existed. No, one
endocast came out with some lines that seemed to match some
lines on the modern human brain. One endocast. Just one. And
that was perverted into this human ancestor with a modern
brain that buried it's dead, and lived over 2 million years ago.

I mean, for all I know it really is over 2 million years old, and it's
the recent dating that's the bullshit. I mean, when you know
someone is a liar then THAT'S what you know. You can't cherry
pick what you want to believe and what you want to dismiss.

None of what they say is trustworthy.

But all of it is in line with the Out-of-Africa purity bullshit, the
social program some elitist twat came up with because THEY
are racist to the core, and everything they see validates their
racism so obviously if anyone else sees it they'll be racist too.

...never mind the fact that racism is alive & well already,
and has been for millennia and there's precisely ZERO chance
that actual science, instead of the social program, is going to
make it any worse...

In the only phylogenetic analysis so far that includes naledi (Dembo

"With the exception of six avian bones and isolated non-diagnostic rodent
elements, all identifiable, macro-skeletal specimens recovered to date from
the Dinaledi Chamber are clearly hominin..."

"The skeletal assemblage of H. naledi displays little variation in surface
structure and condition, indicating that the hominin material has been
exposed to a limited range of environmental fluctuation during its
depositional history. "

"None of the bone fragments studied preserve evidence of bleaching,
cortical exfoliation, delamination or deep patination, indicating that the
bones were not affected by solar radiation (Lyman and Fox, 1989, 1997);
that is, no bone fragment was exposed to weathering on surface outside
the cave, which is consistent with sedimentation patterns observed in the
chamber."

"The matrix sediments surrounding the fossils do not present evidence for
sedimentation processes that involved significant water action able to
transport coarse-grained material including bone fragments."

"No evidence is noted of vertebrate modifications such as those caused by
carnivores, rodents or other hominins. The specimens were assessed for
evidence of edge polish from repeated gnawing, tooth pits or punctures
perpendicular to the surface of the bone, tooth scores, striations and/or
furrows (V or U-shaped in cross section), and traces of gastric corrosion
(Haynes, 1983; de Ruiter and Berger, 2000; Pickering et al., 2004; Pokines
and Symes, 2013; Supplementary file 2). There is no evidence of stone tool
inflicted cuts, scrapes, impact or chop marks (White, 2014). Tooth scores
and pits, crenulated edges and splintered shafts associated with carnivore
damage (Kuhn, 2011) are absent. None of the specimens are burnt (Stiner
et al., 1995) or shows signs of trampling other than limited incidental
recent
breakage by cavers that is readily evident (Behrensmeyer et al., 1986)."

"Overall, weathering patterns of the bone surfaces are consistent with the
effects of sub-aerial and sub-surface processes in a periodically wet or
water-saturated, dark depositional environment that experienced stable
temperatures."

"Limited weathering (physical and chemical) indicative of sub-aerial,
sub-surface processes in a periodically wet or water-saturated, dark
environment (Figure 10) indicate that the bones were never exposed to the
earth's surface and elements (the sun and rain) outside the cave (Lyman
and Fox, 1989; Backwell et al., 2012; Junod and Pokines, 2013)."

[blah, blah, blah-blah, blah]

All of this is quite consistent with animals drawn in by the cool, damp air
in search of a water source, like during a draught, only to be trapped in
the darkness & die.

It's an excellent argument AGAINST intentional burial, as the animals
depositing the dead deep within the pitch black depths of the cave
would then have to find their way out...

Just look at their call for team members! They advertised for small
people with climbing experience. And that's now, in the modern word,
when we have lights, night vision, ropes., cameras and communications.

What did Naledi have?

It's like a giant lobster trap: They went in, they got stuck. They couldn't
find their way back out.

Nothing is consistent with burial.

I've never done anything like that, but
I presume that if you had a long rope (or
even a thin cord) which you laid out as
a trail, you could follow it back IN THE
DARK to the entrance. They'd have had
torches but, on occasion (or even fairly
often), they'd all have gone out and re-
lighting them in such damp conitions
was probably impossible. Also, they
would have operated in teams, and
'rescuers' with torches would, after
some agreed interval, have sought
out members who had not returned
on time.

The operation of transporting a body
to that remote chamber would probably
have needed multiple trips, so a semi-
permanent rope guide might have been
installed..

Torches, rope, small size, a life-time's
practice and a cultural inheritance.

Their brain size overlapped Chimpanzees. They certainly had no larger
brains than habilis, if even that large.

There are claims, but between the atrocious accuracy of the information
fed to us and the claim that their larger brains being based on a single
example, don't bank on anything.

So there's ZERO evidence for fire use, ZERO evidence for rope, the screaming
obvious fact that they're already claiming that these were adapted to the
trees in a way that Chimps are today, which makes ropes redundant...

Google Occam's Razor.

Either you build a tower of suppositions so high it teeters towards collapse,
or you conclude that they are as primitive as they look and weren't
intentionally burying their dead.

Or they were every bit as primitive as they look and just got trapped deep
inside a cave searching out a water source.

So a massive dung heap of baseless suppositions.

That's circular. You conclude that they were intentionally laying their
dead to rest and then claim that the fact that they laid their dead to
rest is evidence for their doing so.

Why? Are you honestly unable to think for yourself? If you don't have some
priest tell you that God approves of an idea then you can't think it?

Impure thoughts?

And is Google broken?

Name one single source that talks about prepared burials in Africa more
than 200,000 years ago.

There are none. The owners of Naledi(tm) invented the notion.

So they died in the cave, not on the surface. That's all your cite is saying. You
don't understand it. Clearly. But it's not saying anything to support intentional
burial. It's just saying that the bones didn't wash in from the surface, or fall in.
It's even implying that the animals weren't the victim of predators.

But it's not saying that they were buried.

As a matter of fact, given the number of animals represented... Wiki says 15.
Smithsonian says that too. OVER 100,000 YEARS! But lets call it 150 individuals.
Let's call it 300. Heck, let's call it 500 individuals:

One died and was buried every 200 years?

Let's make it 1,000 individuals "Buried" in the cave: So one single member of the
population died every century, and was buried in the cave.

It's stupid. It's a glaringly obvious STUPID claim.

Considering the length of time represented here -- they're claiming
that the remains are spanning maybe 100,000 years -- there just
aren't enough of them for that. Which is why I favor the "Drawn in
by cool, moist air in search of a water source."

This cave was a giant roach motel where Naledi went in but they
didn't come out.

I know Wiki isn't exactly the most trustworthy citation but the traditional
30 second Google search found a Wiki article on the cave claiming it to
be no more than 3 million years old... roughly 10x the age of Naledi.

Other cites said that the entrance hasn't changed much if at all since the
fossils were deposited.

Either way, it seems that there isn't a great case to be made for the cave
having formed only after Naledi died there.

This strongly implies, in my mind, the Roach Motel model, as opposed to
a burial chamber or even just residents dying.

If it was just them dying where they lived, there should be many times
more. Even at a population of say, say, 10 members, given a life as long
as 30 years we should be seeing more than 10x as many fossils, given
the age range they attribute to the finds.

The Roach Motel model does fit the evidence though. We would expect
only a fraction of their number to get stuck deep inside the cave, and
only rarely though perhaps at something of a pattern where the most were
lost during droughts/unusually hot periods...

Yes. There's a drought on, the animals are suffering from great thirst
and they are drawn deep into the cave by the cool, moist air in search
of water.

2) Naledi was probably aquarboreal: bipedally wading & vertically climbing in swamp forests.

Again, because the emotional damage you suffered did not allow you to
register it the last time, if there had been standing water they would have
drank it, instead of delving further & further into the cave before becoming
trapped and slowly dying.

It's kind of a requirement, this lack of standing water...

Tell me, I said "cool moist air" and you're pretending I said "It was filled with

I quoted the paper about no water action. And if you look at a schematic

of the Rising Star
cave system

<https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Cross-section_of_the_Rising_Star_Cave_system_Dinaledi_Chamber.svg/388px-Cross-section_of_the_Rising_Star_Cave_system_Dinaledi_Chamber.svg.png>

Wow and I made it clear multiple times that NOTHING I said implied water. In
fact, my words EXCLUDED water! If there was water they would have drank it,
instead of being drawn BY THE COOL, MOIST AIR deeper & deeper into the
cave until they were trapped & died.

"Cool, moist air."

I'm literally saying "Air" and your hemorrhoid that you call a brain is claiming that
I said "Water."

Repeatedly.

A lack of reading comprehension does NOT an argument make.

Here on Earth "moist" has a cause... you know, water... What does "moist"
imply?

Yeah. Moisture.

And like I pointed out and you still can't grasp: "Moist AIR."

"Moist" is used as an adjective. The noun is "Air."

What was I talking about? AIR. The AIR is moist.

Now move on with your life before I start to saying something mean.

And how did the air get "moist"?

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/moist

https://elifesciences.org/articles/09561

"With the exception of six avian bones and isolated non-diagnostic rodent
elements, all identifiable, macro-skeletal specimens recovered to date from
the Dinaledi Chamber are clearly hominin..."

"The skeletal assemblage of H. naledi displays little variation in surface
structure and condition, indicating that the hominin material has been
exposed to a limited range of environmental fluctuation during its
depositional history. "

"None of the bone fragments studied preserve evidence of bleaching,
cortical exfoliation, delamination or deep patination, indicating that the
bones were not affected by solar radiation (Lyman and Fox, 1989, 1997);
that is, no bone fragment was exposed to weathering on surface outside
the cave, which is consistent with sedimentation patterns observed in the
chamber."

"The matrix sediments surrounding the fossils do not present evidence for

sedimentation processes that involved significant water action able to
transport coarse-grained material including bone fragments."

https://elifesciences.org/articles/24231

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4559842/

Clink a link. Go up to your browser menu and select "Find." Search on the
word "Moist."

This site, on the other hand, references "humidity." I'm guessing even if you
are perplexed by that word you will have no trouble finding an adult who
can explain what it means, even if you are most unlikely to understand their

I sometimes lose track of which article says what but, my very first search
found here...

: Unit 3 deposits are spread across the cave floor as loosely packed, semi-moist, orange
: mud clasts of varying sizes in which bone material of H. naledi is distributed.

So. You really are lame. If it'll help, I'll try to act surprised.

Naledi wandered deep into the cave, drawn in by cool, moist air during a
time of drought, only to be trapped & die. It was nature's own "Roach Motel"
where Naledi checked in but they didn't check out.

It's pretty clear from the context that I had forgotten to actually paste this

Do your word search on "Humidity" there... but seeing how you couldn't
find any references to "moist" or "moisture" in the first two cites, the
prospects seem grim.

Explain. As you are by no means a raving jackass and you believe this statement
of yours to be true, walk us through it. Explain your rational. Employ quotes.

Oh. Okay. So three sites, two talk about moisture and one mentions humidity
and you claimed that no cites anywhere did this.

> Lee Berger's ad for volunteers:

You've been proven wrong. Accept it and move on. STOP obfuscating.

> No mention of "high humidity"...

Great. YOU QUOTED IT PREVIOUSLY! You quoted the use of the word humidity
in describing the cave, and saw two previous cites mentioning the moisture.

It's done. The fat lady sang, the ship sailed... it's all over.

You are literally arguing against reality!

It's established. You helped establish it yourself by digging out the quote,
finally, after making a goddamn fool of yourself with the first two cites you
never read.

Yeah, an animal literally dying of thirst in a drought could not possibly be
enticed by cool moist air... would never be attracted to that...

You're emotionally disturbed.

And I'm wasting my time as you can't even comprehend what it's saying,
much less extrapolate it into some sort of argument but, what the hell do
you think this means? What does it refute in that scabbed over pea you
call a brain?

Again, not addressing a goddamn thing... but you don't know that.

Unless you're currently so oxygen deprived that you simultaneously believe
that a SMALL NUMBER of individuals might not get trapped & die over a
period estimated to be 100,000 years or more, chiefly because the cave
system is too difficult/complex, but a population would plausible deposit
SOME of their dead -- but precious few?

Damn. You honestly are an idiot. It's not just an act.

These are not intentional burials. None of the evidence so much as suggests
it. Nothing you quoted leads to your idiotic "intentional burial" ramblings.

Google "caving humidity".

The applicants were required to have
caving experience, and so would have
known about the constant humidity.
No need to tell them.

Berger mentions in his videos about
the initial discovery that the first guys
to see the fossils found their cameras
would not work. The humidity was
so high.

When your beliefs are so rigid that you
have to block out all contrary evidence,
it's you that is the problem.

[DD'eDeN aka note/nickname/alas_my_loves]

Caves are almost universally consistently damp and cool. If the surface entrance exuded the scent of humid air in an arid drought, many species would have detected it and attempted to enter for refreshment, gotten trapped and died leaving skeletons. There was something not obvious today which enabled hominins but not others to leave their carcasses there.
I suspect that hominins entered (by sight not scent) for cool air (not water) during the heat of the day, and being good wiry climbers of small slender size were easily able to go deeper seeking a large chamber to sleep, died from heavier-than-air toxic fumes. Most other fauna would have simply not gone deep, seeking only shade. The scent of water was not the key to this cave. Nor was deliberate burial. Nor was (insert mandatory macro) aquarboreal swampiness. They sought cool large space which had no predators or biting flies, and found it. Rest in peace.

Is this a come-on? Are you hitting on me? Look. I'm flattered, I'm sure, but
I don't think I want to $#%& you. Sorry.

I mean, *I Know* you're not serious about this retarded "Intentional burial"
thing. How many individuals are represented? Over how long a period of
time?

Where are the rest?

These animals didn't have fire, they certainly weren't ritualistic...

That's insane. No, clearly, you're trying to win my sexual favors with a

I use 'hominins' here in the sense of basal kin to Homo, they were probably a branch of Pan-bonobo/Homo that slept in arboreal bowl nests in wet season and ground nests (possibly in caves when available) in dry swamps during dry season (as some chimps do, avoiding both wet and dry predators, probably mostly bipedal with only incipient knucklewalking). Dominant bonobo females sleep highest in trees, curved finger bones aid climbing.

No we're not. The point about the moist air was settled long ago. But
you're still mouthing off. So it's not about any cave, no facts matter

I had forgotten the third cite, which I clearly reference there, but as it's
in this very thread, and you are pretending to be talking about a cave
and the facts surrounding it, you no doubt are already looking back and
finding it. That third cite. Pretending the two I presented in the abover

So what's the issue here? a cave?

No. It's your inability to admit that you were wrong.

Those caves!

See https://twitter.com/johnhawks?lang=en

John Hawks and Lee Berger recently went into
the 'entrance' to the system, squeezing through
the 'superman crawl'. It's been widened, and
can now take over-weight middle aged men.
See the brief videos.

Even with light the complexity of the various
chamber and passages are confusing. It's a
3-dimensional puzzle. The entrance to the
'superman crawl' is far down in the cave, well
beyond any light. I hadn't realised that the
"dragon's back" was a narrow ridge, with a
steep fall of several metres if you slipped.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/data/naledi/

No one would ever go so far into such a cave
without light. The absence of animal fossils
of all other species tells you that.

Those 3D underground labyrinths sound like excellent places to cool down on a hot hot day, predators and parasites unable to attack, food stored in the cellar during drought, plenty of room to rest, silence allowed primitive echolocation as guidance in the pitch black using clicks and sticks and stones. Do you think that Berger and Hawks are their body size?

Well seeing how you missed it the first 900 times, the crazies think it was
a two-way trip, one of them while lugging around a dead body. Intelligent
people see it more as the Roach Motel for Naledi where Naledi go in but
they don't go out...

Again, you're oblivious to the last 900 times this was gone over, and you
know doubt view this as an accomplishment, but the cool moist air from
the depths would have been a powerful draw during a scorching drought.
If you want you can scramble your brain & pretend that the word :"Air" is
"Water." That seems to be popular amongst the mouth breathers.

And, oh; "Moist" is an adjective. You can impress the trailer park crowd
by mistaking it for a noun -- a variation on the spelling of "Air" which
in turn is French for "Water."

It has been suggested that they didn't even need to be in drought
conditions. That, a simple heat wave might've been enough to drive them
down into that cool (moist) air...

But if you missed every other time this stuff has been raised, what are the
odds of you catching it this time?

Primates rarely go down holes. But many
species often do -- e.g. rodents, pigs. They
usually have a much better ability to scent
water. Yet there are NO remains of any
such species in the depths of this cave.
They cannot cope with the complete
absence of light. But somehow h.naledi
did.

That's what you have to explain.

"They bury their dead" is a rule. So it would be "Always go down
holes." However, the intelligent and rather obvious explanation
that they didn't, it was an exception, they did NOT bury there dead
(which is a rule) takes care of that.

Thanks you. Thank you for thinking that the word "Air" is an
alternative spelling of "Water."

I would have been disappointed if I had seen an intelligent
argument in opposition...

HINT: If something is really good at finding water, and there's
no water there, only moist air, they are not going to go down
there. BECAUSE they're really good at finding water and there's
no water, just moist air...

"Water" is a noun yet, and I hope you are sitting for this, the
noun in my statement is "Air."

"Moist" is an adjective.

Glad we straightened this out, again, and look forward to the
many, many, Many, MANY more times it will have to be
repeated, as you fail to grasp it.

*Hugs!*

You did that. Right here. In this thread. And you're still doing it.

So you're pretending that's unlikely, but that they did crawl into that exact
same tight hole carrying bodies... only to find their way back out in
complete darkness.

It's like claiming they were strong enough to lift 200 pounds but too weak
to lift 40.

That is correct, going by everything I ever heard. The Chimp hand is the
more derived, the human hand closer to our more primitive ancestors.
So Naledi isn't "Highly Evolved" it's primitive.

I never made that claim. The real scenario hasn't been worked out yet. Little

Hmm. I said "Moist cool air" you made up "Water! There was so much

Yes you did. It's intrinsic, inseparable from the "Dee Bew-weed deer dead"
nonsense that you're defending.

Irrelevant. The burial claims has been worked out of the picture. It's nonsense.

It's idiocy.

Moisture and water go together, even little kids learn this.

No. "Moist" as in "Moist air" is an adjective while "Water" as in "I
drink water" is a noun.

Adjectives /Describe/ nouns. They are not nouns themselves.

"Moist" is to "Air" what "Tall" is to "Man."

Hmm. And "Tall" = short?

"Heavy" = light?

Look. This is rudimentary English. And although nobody is saying that
you have to be a native English speaker to hold an opinion, when you
lack basic English skills, as you clearly do, you could at least Google
the corrections given to you.

Seriously. "Moist" in an adjective. Google it. Learn something.
