Science is about civil discourse. We learn from disagreements, and redoing the work over and over, ensuring we receive the same result across the board.
Science involves peers, review, and as I mentioned, reworking.
The naledi pre prints are just that, pre prints. The papers have not even come out yet. So let’s keep that in mind, and I can tell you there is a great deal more work going on at Rising Star, which I will of course be covering.
But in the meantime, we have what Berger et. al are purporting, and then this new paper, which is not the last of its kind, trust me there.
So with all of that in mind, what are your views on Riaing Star? Emotions, and dreams of what we want aside?
For a full detailed review of the new paper, as it’s behind a paywall, watch my video here:

Let’s have a discussion in the comments!

It’s disappointing to see people of science getting too far out over their skis, but it apparently happens all the time in pretty much every field of study. Cold fusion, EM thrust drive, room temperature superconductivity, the list is endless. Unfortunately, exaggerating or falsifying findings can be lucrative in the short term.
