Hello Listeners!
In this episode we will be discussing the Homo Naledi who are now believed to be the first of the human ancestors to actually bury their dead - not the Neanderthals. Anthropology is forever changing as we uncover more mysteries to tie into our human evolution timeline. Join us as we discuss what human evolution is, a brief synapse of the timeline of human evolution, and how we found out homo Naledi buried their dead. As always our show notes are posted on our patreon for free.
