When they find a totally unknown small “species” I think of Nebraska man.

The Latin adjective humanus comes from the noun homo (human being), so a critter of the genus Homo could be considered "human."

Poor guy seems to have gotten a nasty bump on his head. I doubt they have any evidence for the shape of the nose--they could have had noses more like those of Homo sapiens rather than like those of apes.

This article has a better headline (relative not ancestor). I’d say this species IS classified as human because of it’s inclusion in genus Homo so burying their dead suggests it’s correctly classified.

They found a new humanoid species in San Francisco. I believe they call it homo democratis.

Looks like another load of bovine excrement. Basically a man with a ape face. No, this is juast another make believe creature from the pretend-science of Darwinian evolution.

. . .Homo naledi, appears to have intentionally deposited bodies of its dead in a remote cave chamber, a behaviour previously thought limited to humans. . . .

. . .The fossils, which have yet to be dated, lay in a chamber about 90 meters (some 100 yards) from the cave entrance, accessible only through a chute so narrow that a special team of very slender individuals was needed to retrieve them. . .

______________________________________________________

It sounds to me like a bunch of apes all went into that cave for some reason; food, shelter from a storm, being chased by a predator, then couldn't get back out.

“.......intentionally deposited bodies of its dead in a remote cave chamber, a behaviour previously thought limited to humans.”

Ever seen an ant farm?
