Rising Star Cave Engravings – Part II: The Terrestrial Plane Cave of Bones saga followers navigating between widely dissenting beliefs on the who, when and what of the Rising Star Cave in South Africa may find solace in this latest blog post. Here we continue our journey beyond Homo naledi towards rediscovering the animal characters and stylistic relationships between the engravings in the Rising Star Cave with the Iberian Gorham’s Etching and Gallery of Discs which were introduced in the previous blog post Rising Star Cave Engravings – Part I: The Underworld – Before Orion. The art in these two Iberian caves dates to around 35,000 years ago and firmly falls into the culture we now refer to as Aurignacian peoples. Those were us – Homo sapiens – who came out of Africa, had already journeyed into Asia, and are culturally categorized by the artifacts we left behind. Homo naledi is important to the understanding of their fossils in the Rising Star Cave and the work of paleoanthropologists Dr. Lee Berger, Dr. Augustin Fuentes and Dr. John Hawks should be commended in this respect but the small-brained hominid from long-ago is no longer a credible player in the narrative of the Cave of Bones engravings.
