Lee Berger: "We feel [this meets] the litmus test of the most ancient human burials."

Exploration team members Megan Berger and Rick Hunter navigate the narrow chutes leading to the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave in South Africa, where fossil elements belonging to Homo naledi were discovered.

Not before humans...they were human.

Africa was pretty lush until 50-60k years ago....when it went arid...
Which is why we finally had to boogie on out of there.

Africa always has huge climate swings...even today...the continent has no mountain range.
Which makes all the difference.
