Blog post, with annotations on the Rising Star Cave findings(500-words) and Analysis of the broader issues the Rising Star controversy raises(500-words)

Its a 2-part assignment on science communication, good research practices and the like.
The topic in discussion is the findings related to the Rising
Star Cave.
From the instructions:

“Since 2013, a research team put together by Lee Berger has
systematically uncovered extensive sets of remains in the Rising
Star Cave system in South Africa. This was groundbreaking research, for it
apparently revealed a new group of hominins, Homo naledi. But more
recently, Berger’s team went one step further, claiming they now had enough
evidence to suggest that this ancient ‘pre-human’ group buried their dead, made
rock art and more – indicating advanced cognitive abilities. The scientific
reports of these sensational claims were first published as pre-prints in the
journal eLife in 2023 and were greeted with some scepticism by
their fellow scientists. Nonetheless, Berger’s team ensured their research made
a considerable impact, with the controversy playing out in both the scientific
literature and in the popular media. “

Blog post (approximately 400 words)

Your task is to write an engaging 400-word blog post for a
general audience on the potential scientific significance of the Rising Star
Cave findings.  Your blog post should summarise the research of Lee
Berger’s team, including the key claims they make and the evolutionary
implications these claims might have. Your blog should also provide a brief but
accurate account of the scientific debate to date, paying
attention to what aspects of this research have been accepted, contested, or
remain uncertain.

You will need to apply what you have learnt from the videos
and activities in the Science Communication module to create a blog post that
communicates the topic effectively to a general audience.
