Palaeodemographics of individuals in Dinaledi Chamber using dental remains [PDF]

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Science, 2018
Hominin skeletal remains from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa, represent a minimum of 15 individuals of the extinct species Homo naledi. We examined the dental material from this sample in order to assess the life-history stages of individuals in the ...

A comparison of hominin teeth from Lincoln Cave, Sterkfontein L/63, and the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa [PDF]

open access: yesSouth 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 [PDF]

open access: yesSouth 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 ...

The many mysteries of Homo naledi [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 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]

open access: yeseLife, 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 ...

Expanded Explorations of the Dinaledi Subsystem, Rising Star Cave System, South Africa

open access: yesPaleoAnthropology, 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 ...

Immature Hominin Craniodental Remains From a New Locality in the Rising Star Cave System, South Africa

open access: yesPaleoAnthropology, 2021
Homo naledi is known from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa, where its remains have previously been reported from two localities: the Dinaledi Chamber (U.W. 101) and Lesedi Chamber (U.W. 102). Continued exploration of the cave system has expanded

Relative tooth size, Bayesian inference, and Homo naledi

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physical Anthropology, Volume 176, Issue 2, Page 262-282, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Objectives Size‐corrected tooth crown measurements were used to estimate phenetic affinities among Homo naledi (~335–236 ka) and 11 other Plio‐Pleistocene and recent species. To assess further their efficacy, and identify dental evolutionary trends, the data were then quantitatively coded for phylogenetic analyses.
