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 ...

Evidence in hand: recent discoveries and the early evolution of human manual manipulation. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2015 For several decades, it was largely assumed that stone tool use and production were abilities limited to the genus Homo. However, growing palaeontological and archaeological evidence, comparative extant primate studies, as well as results from ...

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 ...

Response to Thackeray (2016) – The possibility of lichen growth on bones of Homo naledi: Were they exposed to light? [PDF]
, 2016 Thackeray1 questions the hypothesis of deliberate body disposal in the Rising Star Cave by Homo naledi, as proposed by Dirks and colleagues2. Thackeray proposes that lichens produced mineral staining on the skeletal remains of H. naledi.

Did Homo naledi dispose of their dead in the Rising Star Cave system? [PDF]
, 2022 Significance: Human treatment of the dead is one of the most visible and important aspects of our behavioural evolution. Until recently, the deliberate movement of corpses to specific places in the landscape and their deposition there was thought to ...
