In this lab, we learned about the recently discovered species Homo naledi. Review the drawing of the Rising Star Cave below. Note the layout of the cave chambers and the location of the Dinaledi chamber, where the Homo naledi fossils were discovered. Current research suggests that there was no way for the remains to have accidentally fallen into the Dinaledi chamber, so it is possible that they were intentionally placed there. Which Homo species are known to have intentionally buried their dead? What does that suggest about their social behavior and intellectual capacity? If Homo naledi also intentionally disposed of their dead, what would this suggest about the relationship between brain size and complex thought?

Describe why Homo naledi is considered to be part of genus Homo instead of an Australopithecine. Explain why John Hawks and Lee Berger believe that the Rising Star chamber may be an example of an intentional burial site. Describe the braided delta analogy. Do you think that this is a better way to describe the process of human evolution (in comparison to the linear model or tree analogy)?

While looking for fossils in East Africa, you stumble upon a fossil hominin skull, some stone tools, and a jumble of animal bones sitting on the surface at the bottom of a hill. You know it must have eroded out from somewhere in the hill but cannot pinpoint exactly where. The hill itself is comprised of four layers of sediment, each corresponding to a different period in time - 3.4 million years ago, 2.3 million years ago, 1.5 million years ago, and 500 thousand years ago from bottom to top. Using the information given below: Hominin skull traits: Small brain but bigger than a chimp's, bipedal, small teeth, no canine diastema. Stone tool traits: Simple cores and flakes. Animal bones: Most of them broken and bear carnivore tooth marks, some also have cut marks from stone tools, but these came after the carnivore teeth. Paleoenvironment: Isotope analysis suggests the ancient environment at the site was a wooded grassland near a river. 500 thousand years ago 3.4 million years ago 1.5 million years ago 2.3 million years ago
