A comparison of hominin teeth from Lincoln Cave, Sterkfontein L/63, and the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa [PDF]
South African Journal of Science, 2019 Prior to the recovery of Homo naledi from the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star Cave system, the Middle Pleistocene fossil record in Africa was particularly sparse.

Remains of a barn owl (Tyto alba) from the Dinaledi Chamber, Rising Star Cave, South Africa
South African Journal of Science, 2018 Excavations during November 2013 in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa uncovered over 1550 specimens of a new hominin, Homo naledi. A total of four modern bird bones were collected from the surface of the Dinaledi Chamber during the first phase of the ...

Homo naledi pelvic remains from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa
Journal of Human Evolution, 2018 In the hominin fossil record, pelvic remains are sparse and are difficult to attribute taxonomically when they are not directly associated with craniodental material. Here we describe the pelvic remains from the Dinaledi Chamber in the Rising Star cave system, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa, which has produced hominin fossils of a new species, Homo ...

Femoral neck and shaft structure in Homo naledi from the Dinaledi Chamber (Rising Star System, South Africa) [PDF]
Journal of Human Evolution, 2019 The abundant femoral assemblage of Homo naledi found in the Dinaledi Chamber provides a unique opportunity to test hypotheses regarding the taxonomy, locomotion, and loading patterns of this species. Here we describe neck and shaft cross-sectional structure of all the femoral fossils recovered in the Dinaledi Chamber and compare them to a broad sample ...

Expanded Explorations of the Dinaledi Subsystem, Rising Star Cave System, South Africa
PaleoAnthropology, 2021 The Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system has yielded a large assemblage of fossil hominin material, attributed to Homo naledi. The unusual taphonomic and geological situation of the assemblage suggested that the remains may have been ...

The many mysteries of Homo naledi [PDF]
eLife, 2015 More than 1500 fossils from the Rising Star cave system in South Africa have been assigned to a new human species, Homo naledi, which displays a unique combination of primitive and derived traits throughout the skeleton.

The age of Homo naledi and associated sediments in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa [PDF]
eLife, 2017 New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments with U-Th and palaeomagnetic analyses of flowstones to establish that all sediments containing ...

Investigating Development in Human Evolution: Specificities, Challenges, and Opportunities [PDF]
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 34, Issue 1, March 2025.ABSTRACT Unlike developmental biologists, paleoanthropologists primarily investigate development using skeletal remains, specifically fossilized and already‐formed bones and teeth. Focusing on peri‐ and/or postnatal growth, they reconstruct development from fragmented “snapshots” of individual trajectories at various ontogenetic stages.
