john is very entertaining to listen too, his enthusiasm can not be faked, the real heroes are the volunteer spelunkers who tripped into it.
I’m so glad Lee finally made it in. This project is fascinating
I enjoyed this presentation. Am SO looking forward to new discoveries from this cave & others. Ms. Elliot is heading up other exploration teams you say? How exciting!!
Would it not be cool if schools could 3D print some parts of your findings? Great lecture.
Was this perhaps a burial site?
Great video. Thank you.
are all the specimens extracted now?
Human Evolution, only a tiny fraction of the fossils in the Dineledi chamber have been removed.
just brilliant...smh😍
very intersting
Its like fate told the ancient elder(s) to hide or bury the bodies in that pit for these scientists to find it today.
It is driving me nuts not knowing the age of these guys.
They were alive sometime between 335 and 236 thousand years ago. This places this population of primitive small-brained hominins at a time and place that it is likely they lived alongside Homo sapiens. This is the first time that it has been demonstrated that another species of hominin survived alongside the first humans in Africa.

230.000 Years ago. same time as Heilderburgensis...
do they bring the precious fossils to the lecture, and handle them?
owl, they bring well made casts.
Hey, John, nice coat! I would have suggested wagering on the daily count of excavation site flatulence emissions (no need to identify emitters :) The team could have a separate contest so that the winning emitter get an honorary bottle of peptobismo, or tums ... i was wondering about the apparent design of dna and wondered if the role of retro-virii could impact evolution if they might have reacted to become agents of changes in various species due to increased ultra-violet radiation from Solar events; like coronal mass ejections orders larger than experienced in past record of known occurrences? Can they (the rna virii) be detected in the sequencing?
The greatest scientist of all is the God of creation which is the God YAHWEH of Israel and all mankind, He knew every molecular particle visible and invisible that had to come together and whatever He did not have He created it, the bible is a very scientific book and is also historically correct that that even archaeologist use it when they want to find ancient city's that are no longer visible and they find then right where the bible says they are, no one can prove the bible false.
YAHWEH-the common spoken name based on the letters YHWH. But that pronunciation is incorrect. The proper pronunciation is Yehovah, sometimes pronounced Jehovah. The english J sound is pronounced as a Y in Hebrew, and the English W sound is pronounced as a V in Hebrew, hence the correct name for our God is Yehovah.
