Four hypotheses of how the bodies got there occupation, water transport, predation, and death trap were ruled out. A new hypothesis was formulated what if Homo naledi intentionally buried their dead? Although there is not enough evidence yet to confirm this, such behavior would be significant in that it would precede previous cases of the behavior in Neanderthals and humans. This would add to the argument that Homo naledi are of the genus Homo. After the examination of these fossils and extensive research, it was concluded that Homo naledi were a new species of the Homo genus.
Have you ever heard of the Powhatan tribe? If not let me share a little fact about them. Powhatan means “waterfall” in the Virginia Algonquian language. The Powhatans didn't live in tepees.

The Hmong Culture of South Asia is a very interesting ethnic group. Between 300,000 to 600,000 Hmong live in Southeast Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. About 8 million more live in the southern provinces of China. Since the Vietnam War ended in 1975, Hmong refugees from Southeast Asia have settled in Australia, France, Canada, and the United States. The largest Hmong refugee community lives in the United States with a population of about 110,000. The U.S. Department of state has tried to spread Hmong refugees out across the country to reduce the impact on any one region. Because Hmong families tend to be large in numbers, the community grows rapidly.

In 2015, a major, yet baffling find sparked much attention from both the scientific and public community. A massive collection of fossils of some sort of species had been found in the Dinaledi Chamber of South Africa's Rising Star cave system. While parts of it seemed to be of the genus Homo, other parts seemed to be much more primitive; it was a mix of old and new traits. The age of the fossils have not been confirmed yet, but it appeared to have existed around the split between Homos and australopithecines. The research team for the project has decided that the fossils are a new and very early species of the genus Homo. They named the new species Homo naledi. How did these scientists come to their

On August 8th, 2000, almost 5 years after Pecorelli discovered it; the Hunley was uncovered again and lifted out of the ocean by a giant crane. From there it went straight to a laboratory to do some experiments on and get cleaned up. Many artifacts were found inside of it, but investigations are still going on to try to find out why the Hunley sunk in the first place. They are still solving the mysteries of the H.L. Hunley
Based on available resources, 40000 people die each year in car accidents. This figure is an intimidating figure because it show the occurrence of death in a crash. In this accident, the leading cause of death is people under the age of 35 years old. Safety belts can prevent death in about half of these accident.

Applied cultural anthropology is known to be “the use of ideas, techniques, and data derived from the field of cultural anthropology in the attempt to contribute to solutions to social problems” (Gwynne pp. 6). To be an applied anthropologist, you must have the basic skills of doing research, intervention, and policy development (Gwynne pp. 7-8). Applied anthropology has existed since the 19th century, but was not technically termed “applied anthropology.” Though researchers and anthropologists were interested in studying different cultures they also worked in academia. Franz Boas for example (Gwynne pp. 55) was an academic anthropologist who also took part-time jobs in other fields of applied anthropology and became the Father of American
