Coped from another site:
Human fossils dating back 140,000 years were discovered in the creation of an artificial island in Indonesia. During sand dredging in the Madura Strait, contractors pulled around 177 million cubic feet (5 million cubic meters) of sand and sandstones to create an artificial island, which surfaced fossils. This discovery reveals a previously unknown Homo erectus population in Southeast Asia. Homo erectus were the earliest hominins to resemble modern humans, with larger bodies, longer legs, and shorter arms in comparison to their torso.

Homo erectus in Java: 140,000-year-old fossils found in submerged river valley

For those who tend towards the scientific study, here's the paper from "Quaternary Environments and Humans"

I don't really think that's a question that needs to be answered nor even talked about in the OP links. Natural causes might be an answer after all.

Your suggestion is just as plausible.

I'm just throwing out other possibilities.

If the investigators of Jonestown or My Lai 4 would have assumed "natural causes - no further investigation necessary", these perpetrators would have gotten off the hook.

... now that's an absolute nonsensical comment from you right there.

That's because you're refusing to consider it a crime scene.

Think like a detective.

Until they produce signs of outward death i.e. damage to the bone from weapon impacts, I have no reason to assume there was a mass murder taking place.

Natural causes are a legitimate cause of mass death. Disease, landslide, drowning, natural gases; all of those could be the cause.

Further investigation would be required for that.

And motive for further investigation most certainly isn't "death by natural causes."

No argument there.

Equally plausible.

But it's too early to tell -- right?

140,000 years ago there were several early Human species roaming the Earth. Among them Homo Sapiens were emerging in Africa.

Hay AV, ask AI how many Human species were on the Earth 140,000 years ago.

With the exception of A, all were human beings ... descendants of Adam & Eve.
