Wow. Finally watched @leeberger's leture on their new #fire evidence in association with #Homonaledi and I swear the news really undersold this. livestream.com/carnegiescience

"May have lit fires" is not even close to what was just announced. Systematic use of fire in structured conception of space for navigation, cooking, and possible ritual is more like it!

@cdwren Agreed. Just tough to know what more to make of it without seeing publication-level details. His talk teases a lot and prompts lots of questions (which can be great!), but hard to know what to make of it quite yet.

@AdamVanArsdaleAnthro I assume the paper is in press already so I hope we get to hear soon. I have lots of hope for what will be included but yeah we'll wait and see
