repaired based on the skull found in the Ascending Star Cave in South Africa. A year and a half later, the mysterious human homosexuals were added to the system of human evolution . A research team working in excavation in South Africa has published new analysis results. Initially, it was considered a rather ancient human being because of its strange primitive physical characteristics that it probably lived in the same era as the early Homo sapiens of . Tongmo Naredi was first discovered in 2013. In the Ascending Star Cave in Johannesburg, two cave explorers discovered numerous skeleton fossils. On the African continent, it is unprecedented that such a number of fossils have been found in one place. The brain is small, the shoulders and torso are like apes, and the other part is unknown bones of early humans, which are characterized by essentially the same as humans. The new species is named the same race. Naredi is a star in the local language Soto. The latest paper on the homologous Naredi was published in the journal Electronic Life on May 9. Among them, a research team led by Lee Berger, a paleoanthropologist at Whitwatersland University in South Africa and an explorer of the National Geographic Society, identified the homolog of the discovery between 335,000 and 236,000 years ago. The report also said that a second space was found in the ascending star hole, and from there, the bones of homogeneous Naredi of unknown age were found. If this age is correct, it means that, while our modern human ancestors, the brain-large species evolved , another human exists with a small brain. Its ancestors may have ancestry 2 million years ago or earlier. Furthermore, the age of the fossils overlaps with the early Mesopaleolithic period and proposes a hypothesis that could be the fuse for further controversy. In short, the stone tools of this era unearthed in South Africa may not have been handmade by modern humans.
Reduce age
What does it have to do with other humans (homologous)? Just as the body's characteristics are very similar to that of humans,
To first check age, we measured the radioactive carbon age of the fuchstone (pumice stone), which is the lime layer covering part of the bone. Then, two independent laboratories measured the age of Liuhuashi in the same way, about 236,000 years ago. This means that the skeletons lying under it are older than that.
Then, explore the specific time, which is very difficult. No Liuhua stone was found under the bones. Therefore, we measured the particles and three teeth in the sediment using several different measurement methods, resulting in the oldest and oldest teeth 335,000 years ago.
John Hawks of the Paleoanthropologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a homogeneous research team said: "I am very confident in this number.
Discover a second space in the cave
The researchers also announced that a second space was found in the ascending star cave, and from there the fossils of Tongmo Naredi were found Steven Tucker and Rick Hunter are also the discoverers of the first space "Mrs. Dina", who discovered these spaces during a field trip in November 2013.
The second space is named "Resedi" (meaning light in local Setswana), and is more than 100 meters away from Dina Reddy.
More than 1,500 similar Narays were collected from Dina Reddy Di's specimens, but Resedi has collected about 130 specimens so far. These include bones from two adults and at least one child. One of the adults may be a male, his skull is almost entirely on the face, and his bones are also very close to perfection. Thanks to Dina Reddy's fossils, people realize this. The team members call this person "new." In Soto, it means "gift"
The cave is where the corpse is buried
hamburger team believes that Resedi's discovery confirms one of the controversial hypotheses about Naredi. This hypothesis is that with Mo Naredi using the rising star cave as the burial place for the corpse.
First, this theory was born because the existence of Madame Dina in the first space itself is unexplainable. Resedi was discovered later is equally mysterious.The bones dug from both spaces are almost homogeneous, but this is very rare (Resedi also includes bones from other animals). In addition, no other entrances were found in both spaces.
"What natural phenomenon does this happen in two places outside the cave, multiple bodies, including adults and children, pile up in similar situations? I don't think it's accidental," Hawks said.
Adult skull and body bones are called new bones. It may be a man
However, many researchers believe that without more evidence, it is impossible to draw conclusions. Chris Stringer, an anthropologist at the Museum of Natural History in London, UK, said while reading the latest paper. "For many experts, including me, it's hard to imagine that creatures as big as gorilla would show such complex behavior. In addition, entering a cave requires lights such as torches, which means they can handle fire."
On the other hand, team members and other experts also pointed out that if the dead were really buried with Mona Reddy, they don't necessarily need to hold rituals or reasons like humans.
Postdoctoral researcher Aurora Bar, a Whitwatersland University postdoctoral researcher, said: "We tend to think that humans are very smart and have reasons for all activities, maybe just want to avoid being eaten by animals or exposed to the wind and rain."
