Unknown: Cave of Bones Storyline

In South Africa’s Cradle of Mankind, Paleoanthropologist Lee Berger has found the world’s oldest graveyard and it’s not human. If Lee and his team can prove that this ancient, small brained, ape-like creature practiced complex burial rituals it will change everything we know about hominid evolution and the origins of belief.

Unknown: Cave of Bones Movie Reviews

Forced narrative instead of pure science

I did enjoy this because I was interested in the subject. I wanted to see the bones, hear what the actual physical discoveries were, etc.

What I got instead was an attempt to tell a story that seemed more for entertainment than actual scientific hypothesis.

There were also some truly concerning moments like when the supposed head of archeology for the project suddenly asks (in the middle of doing measurements) “are we measuring in centimeters or millimeters?” Shouldn’t that be well established at that point?

The animations were completely unnecessary and much too speculative. Generally there was way too much romanticizing of these ancient creatures. I don’t like the tendency to project a spiritual or religious meaning onto everything they did.

It almost feels condescending. Like they thought the viewers would be bored with pure science so they had to embellish it like a Disney movie to get people interested.

Touched my heart and very soul

First, about me. I love God: Padre of Jesus, animals and nature. To know we are not the 1st to use tools, bereave – bury our dead (with meaningful items at that) and creat art is shockingly exciting. We all know how many feelings animals have – especially when it comes to their offspring is endearing and makes us love them even more. Knowing that then knowing a species in between an ape and a human was very advanced 250,000 years ago- 180,000 years before what we thought was the 1st and not human is mind-boggling. The history books should not be rewritten but amended and flowing since we may find a whole new species at the North Pole or Amazon that is older and wiser.

I cried so much watching the reenactment of this species and Berger going into the chimney then chamber.

**Lastly, I do not think it is about the size of brain but how much of it you use.

Interesting but speculative

Very interesting movie, but take the opinions of the scientists shown in the movie with a grain of salt, since they are everything but objective. Burying a dead body with a tool is far from being evidence of belief in the afterlife, or any belief at all. It’s just a sign of respecting the personal property of the deceased and shows, that Homo Naledi was capable of feeling emotionally attached to things, not only showing emotions for other members of their species. Scientists projecting their personal beliefs and views instead of interpreting the facts, sadly that more common than it should be.
