Homo Naledi – does it form part of our earliest ancestors or is it simply a different species, a close relative alongside our ancestors? Can we with any credibility and surety say that Homo Naledi formed part of the evolution process of modern humans or was it merely a different species within the Homo genome, which followed its own parallel branch? These questions lead to a far greater question, one about the very origins of our species and the credibility of human evolution as we have come to know it – have we in fact evolved at all in the way that scientists claim that we have, or is the story of our origins vastly different to anything that has been propagated? As we learn about Homo Naledi, we will attempt to formulate some answers to these questions, or at the least theories that could hopefully one day lead us to those answers. Let us commence our journey of discovery by unveiling who/what Homo Naledi is.
