Homo naledi

They have just discovered Homo naledi in the Cradle of human kind in South Africa. Displaying primitive characteristics and human characteristics. The fossils are numerous and very complete and are quite obviously part of the human family tree . Yet another nail in the creationist coffin! 

 Bluebok, is this Naledi bloke old enough to be Victor's locking partner?Meyer's keen on experience it seems...

 moolaa
  Probably - but he is on the young side to partner Matfield.    

LOL! 
Pretty interesting stuff this. Apparently, they have found a bunch of fossils in what appears to be a tomb. Indicating that this ancient species had rituals surrounding death, which would have to imply self awareness. As one would expect of an early version of a human. 

 
Homo wat se goed???

 If it proves one thing, it sure is that we know very little of the real history of our planet and from what we do know, it is clear that some things will forever remain a mystery. Blue, I don't think creationists are too much trouble with the discovery. The Young Earth dudes have ignored much more tangible proof in the past, so this won't phase them in the slightest.

 Good one moola

Seeing the thread title I assumed that the Fijians had unearthed yet another superstar wing .

 

 Bruce Springsteen's Take

They prosecuted some poor sucker in these united states
For teachin' that man descended from the apes
They coulda settles that case without a fuss or fight
If they'd seen me chasin' you sugar
Thru the jungle last night
They'd a called in that jury and a one two three said
'part man part monkey, definitely'

Well the church bell rings from the corner steeple
Man in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evil
Offers his lover's prayer but his soul lies
Dark and driftin and unsatisfied
Well hey bartender tell me what'd ya see
Part man part monkey looks like to me

Well the night is dark the moon is full
The flowers of romance exert their pull
We talk a while my fingers slip
I'm hard and cracking like a whip

Well did God make man in a breath of holy fire
Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire
Well the man on the street
Believes what the Bible tells him so
But you can ask me mister because I know
Tell them soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see
Part man part monkey, baby that's me

Found a new name for Victor Matfield.  It is either Victor Naledi or Naledi Matfield - which one would be the most suitable?    

Hahaha, not the direction I expected this thread to go, but funny none the less!
Mike, how about Homo Matfield? 

We will never know
It's all a ssumptions

 What is all assumptions? I agree I would know to what extent.

We assume we know what happened exactly 3.4 million years ago or 20 million years ago until some new evidence or theory comes along and blows it out the water.  
Science is ever evolving and re-aligning it's original theories.
Things like this can never be a confirmed scientific fact.... never
People are still not even convinced that carbon dating is infallible
