The fluency process of Homo Naledi:

Ask

  • Who was Homo Naledi?

  • What was the significant about this discovery?

Acquire

  • Information was acquired at the following website: http://ewn.co.za/features/Naledi

Analyse

  • A team of archaeologist led by professor lee Berger undertook the rising star expedition and they had made history by discovering and salvaging fossils of at least an individual from the Dinaledi chamber. this was evolutionary discovery since a new species of hominines called Homo Naledi was found in the, remote chamber. Homo Naledi have distinct physical features that are astonishingly similar to that of human being such as:

  • curved fingers

  • small skulls

  • slender bodies

  • ape-like shoulders

Apply

  • According to the finding highlighted in the Homo Naledi could be our common ancestor, therefore this suggest that it could had human characteristics both physical and mental as well as similar behavioural characteristics.

  • The Dinaledi chamber could have been used as a burial ground where the newfound species could have performed burial rituals since none of the fossils had mark nor did they attend the chamber at the same time.

Assess

  • Research was conducted thoroughly and the information was extracted from a good source.
