What's Up With That New Human Species Discovery?

Reconstruction of Homo naledi

A pile of bones were just found within a South African deep cave. And it seems to be very primitive-it had a tiny brain, for instance, and apelike shoulders for climbing. Its been named as Homo Naledi. The catch here is that it looks remarkably like modern humans. At the point when did it live? Where does it fit in the human family tree? Furthermore, how did its bones get into the most concealed chamber of the cave—could such a primitive animal have been discarding its dead deliberately?

This disclosure of 15 fractional skeletons is the biggest single disclosure of its type in Africa. The researchers assert that the revelation will change thoughts regarding our human predecessors.

The analysts who made the find have not been able to figure out to what extent back these animals lived - yet the researcher who drove the group, Prof Lee Berger, told BBC News that he believed they could be among the first of our kind (class Homo) and could have lived in Africa up to three million years prior.


Professor Berger says that naledi could be considered as the bridge that gaps primitive bipedal primates and humans.

"What we are seeing is more and more species of creatures that suggests that nature was experimenting with how to evolve humans, thus giving rise to several different types of human-like creatures originating in parallel in different parts of Africa. Only one line eventually survived to give rise to us," he told BBC News.

Different scientists working in the field, for example, Prof Stringer, trust that naledi ought to be depicted as a primitive human. In any case, he concurs that present speculations should be re-assessed and that we have just barely touched the most superficial layer of the rich and complex story of human development.

What's Up With That 'Alien Humanoid' Found In India?

I was never into these UFO/Aliens sighting footages or stories because, lets face it people, most of them are just hoax. If one can hire some Zach King like talented video editor, a believable but fake UFO sighting footage can be made in no time. The same applies to UFO related pictures.


Whatever the case maybe, I came across this unusual picture being shared around social media. Looking further into the matter, it seems that a creature was found in the Bawadi Village of Jodhpur in Rajasthan. It was found by the locals while they were digging a water well.

Here is the picture that had gone viral:

It's been shared by many mystery lovers and conspiracy theorists on Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites, a considerable lot of whom are quite convinced it demonstrates an alien humanoid.

The so called alien humanoid, uncovered and photographed on July 25, appears to have four fingers and no thumbs. It is an irregular purple shading, its eyes black. It has legs and toes too.

Frankly, the first thing that came to my head was "Ha! Someone just dumped their fetus!". The picture did get lots of social media attention, but a hoax nonetheless.

What's Up With That September Suicides Every Year?

I recently came across a news report published about Japan's September Suicides. As weird as it sounds, it seems that the most number of suicides in Japan happens to be in the month of September every year.

Looking further into the matter, the report uncovers that the first day of school in Japan (normally September 1) is the most noticeably awful day of the year for adolescent suicides in that nation.

After the Japanese office of suicide prevention gathered information from more than 40 years, they found that teenagers under 18 were killing themselves at a much higher rate initially of September than at some other time amid the year.

The reason behind this, specialists say, isn't only uneasiness over summer's end. Rather, they say, adolescents who are bullied fear coming back to class. As one understudy, 17-year-old Nanae Munemasa, told CNN: "The long break from school empowers you to stay at home, so it's paradise for the individuals who are tormented. At the point when summer ends, you have to return to school. What's more, once you begin agonizing over getting bullied, committing suicide may be conceivable." Due to her fear of being harassed, Nanae decided to stay home for a year in order to adapt, something numerous Japanese students do.

After her year at home, Nanae is back at school, and even in a band. She and her mom credit the web and the associations she made there for her freshly discovered confidence, and she has begun a blog to help other people in similar situations.

Nanae's mom said her girl's time on the Internet was a key element in helping her overcome the bullying.


To bring light to the issue, a Japanese non-profit association, Futoko Shimbun, is even printing a daily newspaper for kids who stay home to abstain from harassing. Keiko Okuchi, one of the organisation's representatives, said the issue is worsened by a culture that directs that going to class is the main choice.

"It is a horrific experience for kids who realize that they'll be harassed at school, yet they have no other decision yet to go," she said.
