Paleoanthropologist Lee Berger claims that the oldest burial site in the world, dating back to some 200,000 to 300,000 years ago, is in South Africa. He believes the primitive Homo naledi species buried their dead and carved symbols on tomb walls. The findings challenge the current understanding of human evolution.
“We are going to tell the world that we have discovered a non-human species, that had fire and controlled it, and went into incredibly difficult- to-reach spaces, and buried its dead in a ritual fashion, over and over and over again.
