Netflix's "Cave of Bones" documentary

That's cool, but that text about "an extinct, small-brained ape" hit kinda close to home 

Cheers

That seems to be overly-sensationalized. Homo Naledi is phylogenetically classified as human ("homo naledi" - "the Naledi human"). So. "ape" only in the sense that all humans are also apes... i.e. "the naked ape".

Also, "The Cave of Bones" is in Atapuerca, Spain, not South Africa (Sima de los Huesos" = literally "The Cave of Bones"). It is filled with bones from Homo Antecessor, not Homo Naledi.
