It’s clear that Lee Berger considers making scientific findings openly accessible to the public an important step. He also encourages young scientists to be a part of his team. Why do you think these things are important to science?

They’re so important because it helps people get interested and keep the field of science alive.

Keeping data publicly open is important in order to keep as much people as possible in the loop thus several not so clearly visible errors. Being part of the team means more resources available.

H. Sapiens acting scientifically is vital to the survival and evolution the species. Not all of the 7 billion humans on the planet act this way. Examples of this include, but are clearly not limited to, adherents to conspiracy theories, dogmatic religious believers, and parents who prevent their child from being vaccinated. The public must engage in critical and rational thinking, otherwise, science and H. Sapiens will become extinct.

Science is the consequence of the entire human action space….we all need to be part, as we all are part, of the evolutionary landscape we study and perhaps we can shape going forward!

After doing 3 other courses this is still my favorite.
I having been think about this course. How did they crawl thew the caves tight places without burning themselves with their torches? Did they even have torches that long ago? Was evidence torches found in the cave? Maybe there was another entrance that has caved in. Was evidence of a cave in, inside the cave? What about on the surface is there another possible caved in cave entrance? On the surface would be best, easier to dig out. Maybe more fossils to be found. -

Nuance open minded approaches will always deliver more options to explore, by default leading to more discovery. It is very welcoming to know leaders in their field still hold true to exploring the unexplored, re-exploring and possibly re-inventing historical finds and timelines thought to be set in stone. There is more past the horizon and everything doesn’t revolve around Earth, once thought to be Hersey.

Yeah, Encouragement and motivation always leads to try again and again but one should see progress in his/her work to remain motivated. So one should chose the field he is interested in and work ceaselessly. It is then he will explore what’s out there.

It is always necessary to incorporate young people to every endeavor to transmit to them the passion for discovery and to further our species’ knowledge

It is always essential to look backwards and understand the process of our evolution. This gives us the insights of how conciseness and our senses have developed over thousands/millions of years, which will further help is decoding our present understanding of our 3 dimensional world and opening the limits of our brain to more hidden dimensions. I hope we have a timeline from the date of which the hominids have evolved into us and a classification of whose roots come from where. This will change the perspective at which we look at the artificial barricades of religion, color etc. and give a sense of unity amount all of us.

It is important that everyone has access to knowledge, no one should limit it. Young people can do great things

These discoveries affect all humanity and so need to be made public. There is huge mutual benefit in young scientists helping on such a project.

A sad fact of this time is that our race is in the process of going extinct. Micro toxins from the break down of discarded toxins in oceans are building in the earths surface, water and atmosphere. One would hope that some humans survive to tell the tails of today, among those the origins of humanity. As of now, science abstains completely from anything present or here & now. While I appreciate the work done to understand the past, if it is used as a diversion from current conditions it will end up another dead end nothing.

The importance of informing the public often allows funding to be justified and also raised. People enjoy gossip, even shadenfraude type, so to capture the imagination allows the merits to be in place and to be irrefutable.
To have young people involved allows for insights of youth beyond our limits and their interests to follow where other youth have gone. This is leadership and mentoring.
Often we can use guidance in youth.
With the Cradle of Mankind in the Star Chamber with the Starmen we see a congruenty of fossilized messages, all onboard for a mission.
Evolutions of Hominoids and science allows people to all be smitten with wonder of discoveries of untaught histories.

Making scientific findings openly accessible and including young scientists in research teams are important for several reasons:
Democratizing Knowledge: Open access to scientific findings ensures that knowledge is not restricted to a select few but is available to everyone, fostering a more informed and educated society.
Encouraging Collaboration and Innovation: Open access allows scientists worldwide to build upon existing research, encouraging collaboration and potentially leading to new discoveries and innovations.
Training the Next Generation: Involving young scientists in research teams helps in training and mentoring the next generation of researchers, ensuring the continuity and evolution of scientific inquiry.
Diverse Perspectives: Young scientists often bring fresh perspectives, new ideas, and up-to-date knowledge, which can be crucial for innovative research.
Advancing Science: Both practices contribute to the advancement of science by promoting transparency, collaboration, and continuous learning, which are foundational to scientific progress. -
