This shouldn't be surprising considering the relatively 'young' dates for H naledi... A YT vlogger that I follow states that Lee Berger tweeted on Twitter that the use of fire wasn't even close to the latest surprising revelations about H naledi. There are supposed to be three other new developments that are more... controversial or whatever... (?) The vlogger went on to list his wish list... DNA... tools... more remains... a newly discovered entrance, etc.
However, Dr. Berger is being coy...
The link below is not the associated Twitter posts. I don't have Twitter because I don't see much use in that particular app.
The link below is Dr. Berger's announcement pertaining to the discovery of traces of fire use deep within the Dinaledi/Rising Star cave system. There are also videos of the inside of the cave & still photos of the associated hearths, some of which contain burned animal bones.
So, without further ado:

"Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test." ~ Robert G. Ingersoll

Re: Homo naledi had fire [!]
There is always the chance - actually the great likelihood - that human evolution was not linear. Some scattered groups may have made advances far earlier than others but then died out for one reason or another.
We will never unravel this entire mystery.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
