Those cavers are seriously brave going into places like that.

Amazing discovery.

Homo naledi infant skull discovery suggests they buried their dead​

The partial skull of a Homo naledi child from around 250,000 years ago has been found in a deep, inaccessible cave – suggesting it was placed there by other H. naledi.

Not to mention Homo naledi putting it there with no LED head lamps or anything even close.
For sure.
I do wonder if there was a particular group that had the job of going into the caves whilst the others were "mourning" outside?
Or if it was decided as a short straw or lucky Eddie kind of approach?
