Endocast morphology of Homo naledi from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Hominin cranial remains from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa, represent multiple individuals of the species Homo naledi. This species exhibits a small endocranial volume comparable to Australopithecus, combined with several aspects of external cranial

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.

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.

Investigating Development in Human Evolution: Specificities, Challenges, and Opportunities. [PDF]
Evol AnthropolABSTRACT 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.

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 ...

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 ...

The hand of Homo naledi. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2015 A nearly complete right hand of an adult hominin was recovered from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa. Based on associated hominin material, the bones of this hand are attributed to Homo naledi.

The foot of Homo naledi. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2015 Modern humans are characterized by a highly specialized foot that reflects our obligate bipedalism. Our understanding of hominin foot evolution is, although, hindered by a paucity of well-associated remains.

Sexual dimorphism in Homo erectus inferred from 1.5 Ma footprints near Ileret, Kenya. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Sexual dimorphism can be one of the most important indicators of social behavior in fossil species, but the effects of time averaging, geographic variation, and differential preservation can complicate attempts to determine this measure from preserved ...
