Did early human ancestors bury their dead?
Homo sapiens are believed to be the first and only species that buries their dead. But an international team of scientists, including UW-Madison researchers, say they have found evidence of graves made by ancient human ancestor Homo naledi dating back 100 thousand years before the first known burials. We talk to one of the scientists about his work.
