Unless H. naledi indulged in cave exploration, how would they have known about the Dinaledi Cavern in the first place?

It has been suggested that the “difficulty of access would seem to rule out formal burial”, and that “attempted escape from some catastrophic surface event” might be a possibility. On the other hand, the deposition of the remains indicates that it took place over a long period.

It seems that the “Dragon’s Back” may be a block that dropped from the roof. Has anyone considered that 1-2 ma access might have been different?

Could it be that the difference in access was more than would have resulted from the slumping of the Dragon’s Back?

There never was nothing.
