I encourage all newcomers + oldcomers interested in the evidence of cultural activities by H. Naledi to start with this paper. It dramatically limits the number of plausible explanations for the evidence the team found on the other side of the labyrinth and broadly strengthens their hypotheses.

And some aspects that they do not argue as fact, but consider, like controlled fire - if they didn’t have controlled fire, the possible alternatives are less plausible: kite string like in Tom Sawyer, or previously unrecorded primate navigational biotraits, sound-echo location or musky smell.

I literally felt my blood pressure rise while reading the descriptions of routes 1 and 2

Yeah, route 2 is no joke
