If the Neanderthals were not the first humans to bury their dead, then who was?

Hello Listeners! In this episode we will be discussing the Homo Naledi who are now believed to be the first of the human ancestors to actually bury their dead - not the Neanderthals. Anthropology is forever changing as we uncover more mysteries to tie into our human evolution timeline. Join us as we discuss what human evolution is, a brief synapse of the timeline of human evolution, and how we found out homo Naledi buried their dead. As always our show notes are posted on our patreon for free. Shout out to our newest patreon, Anthony! Thank you so much for your support! Remember, subscribing to our patreon gives you early access to new episodes the night they are finished being edited as well as access to our discord where we talk about death and dying. Our lowest tier is $3, and the higher ones get you merch!
