Many thought that the time for field exploration in the search for human origins was over. Then in 2013, paleoanthropologist and National Geographic Explorer-In-Residence Lee Berger made a remarkable discovery: While exploring the Rising Star cave system in South Africa, his team stumbled upon one of the greatest fossil discoveries in the past half century. They found a new species of human ancestor that could very well change the way we think about human ancestry and evolution.

He definitely made a huge discovery...and was very smart to organize the expedition the way he did . ..
A Sincere, "Thank you" for this.
💜
Recreational caver Rick Hunter discovered the chamber initially found the cave should be getting a LOT of credit for this discovery.
Very Interesting
Thank You for the video upload...
On display now at the Perot museum in Dallas
Have you investigated whether the dragon's back could have fallen from the ceiling and blocked an easier entrance at the bottom of the cave, leaving behind the difficult upper access?
Yes, since the find geologist have thoroughly studied the cave system.
@@surfk9836 So cool! I wondered the same thing, or that there was another way to get in - there has to have been a lot of movement of the earth since then?
Massive discovery
How does anyone fit through 7 and a half each slot ?
I found a bone (seemingly) in rocks that came from a river in California. What should I do with it ?
I'd take it to a nearby university.
I'm glad science seeks and knocks for righteousness sake. Someone learns and shares the real truth that way.
Amazing foresight to film it .I applaud you.
Oh, and for all you creationists who left comments, you sound scared. Does this shake your faith?
What you discovered was a primitive jail cell where they were most likely sent to starve to death (Because let's face it, they didn't go down there to live) and probably with guards. I wonder if they excavated the surrounding parts of the cave to look for tools, weapons or even utensils for eating.
It sounds like they were adept at climbing in general, could probably have easily gotten in and out.
At 2:25 there is a diagram of the cave. Not to sound perverted or anything, but it reminds me of female anatomy. The superman crawl is kind of like where the pelvic bone is. The dragons back kind of seems like a cervix and the Dinaledi chamber is the uterus or womb. Seems to me like they were giving their dead back to mother nature maybe in hopes they could be reborn or sent back from where we all come from? History is so cool. Maybe I’m just bummed I broke up with my girlfriend, hah! She was a trainwreck, but I sure miss her anatomy.
Why not use a diamond saw to get better access to the cave? It shouldn`t disturbe anything if used with caution.
Such a great content. I found a book with comparable material that changed my life. "Temporal Echoes: Amelia's Odyssey Through Ancestral Shadows" by Vivian Rosewood
DID IT HAVE SUN BLOCK TOO?
my qustion is why these hominids were hiding so much ... why did they die in there ? so many questions
Just some random kid tryng to play hide and seek but were stuck and imprisoned in the cave
There are layers of bones, grave markers and the creatures that buried their dead there were small enough to fit into the opening, and they used that place to bury their dead.
The comment regarding burials pales into insignificance when realising
these early hominids must have been able to use fire in order to access
the inaccessible cave. investigation of the cave for deposits of soot
must now be an urgent priority.
I wonder what they're going to do with this fossil?...
eat it and pray to the devil.
make fuel

The remains don't look at all like fossils the femur had a lumen which would fill in if it were fossil and different colors in the cross-section and the superficial surface .Also there was a clear difference in the color and texture of the teeth and bone which could not be the case with a fossil .
This is incorrect. Fossils look different all over the world depending on what kind of sediment they were buried in. Depending on the environment the bones will absorb different minerals and the colours will also be different. For example, soil and fossils will have a lot of iron in them, causing a rust colour. Different minerals, different colours.
@@LordTrilobite Was there any tartar they could get DNA from? Of course they tried!
Needs epilepsy warning
TH-camr doesn't require you to put that so they simply don't.
What nerd strokes out from a TH-cam video? Sounds like they would have died easily in evolution and been shoved in a cave dead….
How is this an ancestor ? A cousin is not an ancestor.
I know this is 3 years old and hopefully you would be more educated. But if not, search what a cladogram is
frist coment
Slow clap
Slow clap
Right, how come so many negative people come to watch youtube koolest Programs and they are soooo Ignorant
what do you mean
coran said that god chose adam .... i think that means there was others adams existent at that time
إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَىٰ آدَمَ وَنُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ zoom
Transliteration Inna Allaha istafa adama wanoohan waala ibraheema waala AAimrana AAala alAAalameena zoom
Literal
(Word by Word) Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Nuh, and (the) family (of) Ibrahim and (the) family (of) Imran over the worlds
Very interesting point
Is very frustrating to watch this guy get all the credit when he never went into those holes and he is not the one that actually discovered what was in there. Of course he is going all around giving his speeches and how he amazingly found this new hominid species. Yes I understand he was a critical part in making it happen but slow down and give some other people the credit they deserve.
Watch the whole Nat Geo special, not just clips. You'll see how he deseves all the credit. Plus he opened the entire scientific community to the find, as opposed to long held traditions of hoarding evidence for study.
@@surfk9836 I agree. It's a life altering find. And having everything open for the world community is a blessing. That's true. I was having a bad day when I posted this comment. So I agree I wasn't thinking too clearly when I said that. Thanks for the perspective. 👌
It was his foresight and ingenuity that made this ever happened. Else the world would have been none the wise. A true scientist and teacher with that unique quality to explore, share and motivate the next generation.
@@ebummbhungu7839 his son found the first evidence. Not him.! 👌 He was looking elsewhere.! So he doesn't deserve so much credit! The Team deserves the credit
It was a cave explorer that first found it, no one seems to know. Need to find the original Nat Geo video.
Boring!
just like your sex life
ooohhh
The people of 'Ad and Thamoud. Huge Giant tribes. For more info check the Qur'an. Nations of huge giants, all whiped because of there ignorans to the one and only God.
