I'm only amateur, but things seem so ground-breaking, so exciting and how vital their discoveries and interpretations are, as well as the hard work in the paleo sciences, DNA research, etc how it all comes together at times I'm fighting (shouldn't ha) tears as I hear Dr. Berger speak. Aliso George with great questions, and New Scientist, thank you for creating this video and opening this more to humanity.
The interviewer needs to refrain from saying "yeah" constantly. Just nod your head to show engagement. It becomes really irritating to viewers and to the interviewee to be constantly interrupted with a yeah yeah yeah.

Seems easy to imagine animals other than humans doing something special with deceased animals they were attached to. For instance some species bury smelly things, or hide special things, or go to special places to die. Some animals hate to leave a dead loved one, but if they lived their entire lives in the same cave system, they might tuck the body away solving several problems at once. Nonhumans carefully disposing of loved ones need not surprise us.
This is amazing awesome news can’t wait until these discoveries can be made public. Hopefully other sciences can learn to put aside arrogance and find new discoveries.
If we can accept that Naledi might be existing side by side with Homo Sapiens and that the cultural artifacts found by archaeologists which have been attributed to Homo Sapiens, we have to accept that the artifacts might be the product of Naledi. Shouldn't we also accept the fact that Homo Sapiens might be the reason for the Naledi caches of bones?
We can speculate that Homo Sapiens might be the reason, but there is no FACT to that conclusion. The evidence does not conclude it, merely a possibility.
2:05 We need another hominin species? What about the preneandertals from Sima de los Huesos? More individuals have been found there together than in the Homo naledi sites. And older fossils by the way. Don't be too africancentric Dr Berger.
someone please help me find the rest of this interview...they have deleted it from the internet Pi and the "signature of God" from Carl Sagan's Contact A mathmatician's view of part of the conversation between Richard Dawkins and Peter Boghossian While watching Peter Boghossian (Link to his new book, A Manual For Creating Atheists) in conversation with Richard Dawkins on October 11 (Link to RDFRS and video of the conversation), my interest was piqued by their discussion about what might constitute evidence for God's existence. At one point in that discussion, they talked about a scene from Carl Sagan's novel Contact in which the protagonist, Ellie, finds in the expansion of pi what she calls a signature, perhaps of God. I emailed Peter about this discussion, and I'm sharing some of what I had to say here, as it is related to my own upcoming publication, Dot, Dot, Dot, about infinity and God, currently in the final stages of preparation. In very brief, the fictional "signature" referred to in Contact is effectively a very long string of 1s and 0s far out (after some 10^20 seemingly random numbers) in the base-11 expansion of pi that when arranged in a square of a specific size yields a clear drawing of a circle with diameter. The question that Dawkins and Boghossian discussed briefly is whether or not such a thing could be identified as a "signature of God." That is, they discussed what, if anything, it might mean. From my perspective as a mathematician, I immediately thought that what it would mean is "not much." My thinking that I sent to Peter went like this: Riding on a rather significant conditional, if the "digits" of pi (in any base), are truly random, it's guaranteed that the so-called "signature of God" from Contact will occur at some point in the string of numbers-along with anything and everything else that could be rendered that way. It is not known, though, and may not be the case that the digits of pi are truly random. It is my opinion that finding such a thing somewhere in the decimal expansion of pi would not be surprising on its own. Peter wrote back and asked a great question that serves as the impetus of this blog post. He asked: "What if the 'signature' in pi repeated itself only once? Would that be evidence?" The remainder here is adapted from my response. I wrote: That's likely to be unknowable. There are two ways to guarantee that such a "signature" is there. The first is obvious: observe it somewhere. As I said, given that we ever look far enough and get the parameters right, I wouldn't actually be surprised to find out that it is there somewhere, so this could definitely be done, at least conceptually. It wouldn't prove anything, though-not anything to do with God and not anything assuring it is there only once. Read more … Written By: RDFRS continue to source article at youtube.com
Ah. But they asked local kids who speak native languages so got an African name. If it had been uk kids they would have cone up with absolute silliness like the Boaty McBoatface for a research ship. 😄

Berger is such an interesting scientist. Love his lectures and his enthusiasm. But what about this interviewer??? She seems to play her role and no doubt she's not very into this topic.
She needs to stop talking and responding to every sentence Lee utters. It’s beyond ANNOYING. I’d also like to see her note taking. I’d wager it looks like this~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ty Lee Berger for helping humanity discover the true story of our common origins.
Homo Naledi was not our ancestry. Humans already existed 200k years ago
I search youtube for anthro updates. This is a great one. Thanks, Lee.
OMG I’m so excited! What’s in the breccia?! I can’t wait to learn about these new discoveries! Not Naledi nor Sediba?!? What is it?!
Africa is yuge, and we have been looking only in handful of places. I think there are more surprises ahead...
Great interview! 👏👍🏻
John Hawks, oh great. He's from my university (Wi) & great lecturer.
Thanks so much for posting.
BRILLIANT! Thank You! :)
lol I wanted to jump into the video and shake the info out of him that he's not ready to share yet. Love this stuff

Mr Berger? How often do you come across bone that has been chewed on and has teeth impressions left on it?
2:05 We need another hominin species? What about the preneandertals from Sima de los Huesos? More individuals have been found there together than in the Homo naledi sites. And older fossils by the way. Don't be too africancentric Dr Berger.
In the full talk that accompanied this interview, he does mention Sima de los Huesos as having more individuals.
Interesting thanks
yeah
Where are the big news after 7 months?

Pi and the "signature of God" from Carl Sagan's Contact

go to the eLife website for the latest. You can thank me later.
What if Homo naledi were taken into the cave alive and left there to die, rather than being dead when the bodies were taken in?
Yeah, they do that with babies in some cultures.
Kids competiton to name a species? Next "Sponge Bob" species.
