Homo naledi, a small, primitive-looking relative of our species may have buried its dead and marked their graves with etchings on cave walls, according to a group of recent papers by the species’ discoverers, University of Witwatersrand paleoanthropologist Lee Berger and his colleagues. There’s even a Netflix documentary touting the story of Homo naledi funeral rites.

However, other scientists are skeptical that the evidence really points to interment rather than just erosion covering bodies with sediment. No one doubts that these fossils and this site are important; the debate is over what the fossils tell us about these small hominins — and how sure we can be based on the available evidence.

Did our long-lost hominin cousins venture deep underground to dig graves for their dead, or is there still a mystery lurking in Rising Star Cave?

In the chaos of DC’s Extended Universe, Harley Quinn emerged as one of the beleaguered studio’s greatest triumphs. The R-rated animated series starring Kaley Cuoco never exactly overshadowed Margot Robbie’s big-screen portrayal of Dr. Harleen Quinzel, but it built a rabid fanbase of its own thanks to a unique and irreverent take on not just Harley but the entire DC franchise.

However, now that the franchise is in the hands of DC’s new movie boss (and vocal Margot Robbie fan) James Gunn, does Harley Quinn have a future beyond its upcoming fourth season? Even the show’s producers aren’t sure what to think.

“Well, we don't really know at this point,” supervising producer Cecilia Aranovich Hamilton tells Inverse during a press event at Comic-Con 2023. “Nothing has been communicated directly to us. As far as we know, he likes the show. You know, he was in it. [laughs] So we assume he's a fan of the show. We don't know exactly where we're going to go from here.”
