Abstract The production of painted, etched or engraved designs on cave walls other surfaces is recognized as a major cognitive step in human evolution. Such intentional designs, which are widely interpreted signifying, recording, and transmitting information durable manner were once considered exclusive to Late Pleistocene Homo sapiens . Recent work has demonstrated that hominin groups also made such marks, including Neanderthals (Rodríguez-Vidal et al., 2014; Hoffmann 2018), possibly Middle-Pleistocene erectus (Joordens 2015). signs indicate an intentionality characteristic meaning-making (Kissel Fuentes 2018) been argued require significant levels abilities not found species with smaller brain sizes (Parkington, 2010). In fact, the evolution symbols thought be core aspect what it means “human” (Henshilwood, 2009). Here we present first known example abstract patterns shapes within Dinaledi subsystem Rising Star Cave South Africa. We identified markings incised into dolomitic limestone cave. engravings described here deeply impressed cross-hatchings geometric shapes. bearing these appear have prepared smoothed. some areas there residue creates sheen surface indicating repeated handling rubbing rock, evidence application dirt sand by non-natural processes. naledi entered this part system buried bodies both Chamber adjacent Hill Antechamber between 241 335 ka (Dirks 2017; Robbins 2021, Berger al, 2023a). pillar extends natural fissure corridor links two chambers associate them H.

Homo sapiens' birth time is somewhere between 2 million and 100 thousand years but still blurry. NEW PARADIGM: There sufficient evidence that the glacial maximum ~140 ka largely wiped Pre-Sapiens out (incl. Pseudo-Neanderthals Pseudo-Denisovans) a small population macroevolutionary progressed into Sapiens in Levant, REAL moderns, Neanderthals, Denisovans originated from this new population. In other words, common ancestral was NOT Africa before 500 Levant ka. case, it invalid to classify pre-140 DNAs as Neanderthal or Denisovan using chimp genome plus 400 old genomes Sima de los Huesos. New Paradigm, post-Sapiens archaics are genomically modern, not archaic Denisovans, Eyasi 1-like Africans except latest Erectus Java). An unknown evolutionary mechanism caused both their appearance disappearance: The relative increase decrease of negative (retrogressive) dominance DNA. If so, Paradigm's prediction correct: there never-ending struggle for DNA two opposing forces, seems be driving force ProgRetrogProg evolution.
