Question 2 -Homo Naledi

There are five steps to the information fluency process and they are as follows:

1.     Ask

2.     Analyse

3.     Acquire

4.     Apply and,

5.     Assess

We can use these processes to research the discovery of Homo Naledi:

·       Ask- We must question the validity of these findings,

                        -who made the discovery?

                        -Where was it made?

                        -How old is the fossil that was discovered?

                        -Is there only one body found?

                        -Why has it not been discovered yet?

                       

·      Acquire- This step refers to the gathering of the information and research. This is the physical study of the findings, for example authentication of the age of the fossil or whether is even of human descent.

·       Analyse-  This step can be considered the more in-depth study of the finding and this would then answer the questions you asked in the first step, it would give you a more researched and accurate answer. Maybe establish whether the findings are credible and if we can use them to make credible assumptions.

·       Apply- This step is now the implementation of the information that was gathered in the research.

·       Assess- the final step would be to go back and question your findings again. To analyse your findings and be sure that the investigation was carried out in the appropriate manner, and as accurately as possible.
