Caves would have been a very important part of a community's larger strategy to survive predatory massacres during the depth of the deadly dry season (as described in the link below).

We can think of caves as having been kind of a fortress.

In Naledi the fossils are all hominid (that alone calls out for explanation, why so few other species?). and it seems they all went into the caves deliberately and possibly, I speculate, under conditions of desperation (ie. escaping a predatory massacre). They may even have hurt themselves getting in. The layout of the bones suggests they died there rather than having been disposed of or ritualistically buried in the cave. I think they went in there, couldn't get out, and starved to death.
