Will they say I have a small braincase?<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, a new human-like species discovered in South Africa was named Homo naledi. Neledi is a Sotho name originated in South Africa meaning &#8220;the morning shining star&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Homo naledi is different than any other primitive human. Naledi has a tiny brain that is about the size of a gorilla&#8217;s. The pelvis and shoulders are primitive, as well. Since it has a more progressive shaped skull, small teeth, and long legs and modern-looking feet, it was put into the same genus as humans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw something I thought I would never see in my career. It was a moment that 25 years as a paleoanthropologist had not prepared me for,&#8221; Prof Berger said.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, the fossils were discovered in September 2013. While exploring the Rising Star cave system in South Africa, Rick Hunter and Steven Tucker of the Speleological Exploration Club (SEC) found a hidden chamber. The remains were thought to be 2 to 3 million years old; however, in 2017 new radiological dating estimated the bones were only 200 to 300 thousand years old.<\/p>\n<p>It is quite possible Homo naledi and Homo Sapien were living together. Now, the search is on for DNA evidence to determine if there was inner-breeding.<\/p>\n<p>RECORDING NOTES<br \/>\nStyle: ExperiMental Music<br \/>\nChords: F# D#m \/ D#sus4 C#6<br \/>\nRhythm: 67 &#8211;&gt; 134 BPM 8 Beat Soft and 60&#8217;s Rock<br \/>\nRecording: digital stereo<\/p>\n<p>Vocals, Keyboards and Synthesizers<\/p>\n<p>From the album <a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/daniel-brouse\/The-Bleeding-Edge\/\"><strong><em>The Bleeding Edge<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nby Daniel Brouse<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LYRICS The morning shining star The dawning of the day Has Home sapien come that far Questioning of our way Naledi led me&#8230; Or was it destiny Is my will free?
