Can Homo Naledi’s Engravings Change Our Understanding of Human Evolution?

Now that we’ve all seen the headlines about the potential Naledi engravings, join Seth and Genevieve as we dig deep into the questions surrounding this new possibility. What do we know so far? How should researchers approach such an extraordinary claim? How can we study these engravings? What is the balance between media and academia? And what are the implications for the paleoanthropology field if these engravings are associated with these small-brained hominins?

Join us as we explore:

• The current knowledge and research on Naledi engravings
• How researchers can approach and study these engravings
• The balance between media coverage and academic research
• The implications for understanding human evolution

This is definitely a topic that’s generated lots of opinions and thoughts, but I think we can all agree it’s an exciting time to study human evolution!
