‘Welc(h)omo Naledi’! What does our newest relative have to say to us? [PDF]
HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2016 The new hominin fossil called Homo naledi that was discovered 2 years ago in the Dinaledi Chamber (South Africa) was welcomed into the species of human relatives on 10 September 2015. Welcomed?

Morphological affinities of Homo naledi with other Plio-Pleistocene hominins: a phenetic approach
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasRecent fossil material found in Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa, was initially described as a new species of genus Homo, namely Homo naledi. The original study of this new material has pointed to a close proximity with Homo erectus.

PaleoAnthropology, 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

Distinct mandibular premolar crown morphology in Homo naledi and its implications for the evolution of Homo species in southern Africa. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Homo naledi displays a combination of features across the skeleton not found in any other hominin taxon, which has hindered attempts to determine its placement within the hominin clade.

Relative tooth size, Bayesian inference, and Homo naledi
American 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.

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.

Hominin skeletal part abundances and claims of deliberate disposal of corpses in the Middle Pleistocene. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance Awareness of self-mortality is a uniquely human capacity. Ritualistic treatment of corpses reflects this realization. Two large assemblages of fossil human bones from Spain (Sima de los Huesos, SH) and South Africa (Dinaledi ...
