Endocast morphology of Homo naledi from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 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

Skull diversity in the Homo lineage and the relative position of Homo naledi

Journal of Human Evolution, 2017
The discovery of Homo naledi has expanded the range of phenotypic variation in Homo, leading to new questions surrounding the mosaic nature of morphological evolution. Though currently undated, its unique morphological pattern and possible phylogenetic relationships to other hominin taxa suggest a complex evolutionary scenario.

Brief communication: Dental microwear and diet of Homo naledi

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2018
AbstractObjectivesA recent study of dental chipping suggested that Homo naledi teeth were exposed to “acute trauma” on a regular basis during life, presumably from the consumption of grit‐laden foods. This follows debate concerning the etiology of dental chips in South African hominin teeth that dates back more than half a century.

On Homo naledi and its significance in evolutionary anthropology

2020
For the past few years our team has been engaged with the discovery and analysis of an exceptional sample of fossil human relatives from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa. These fossils represent the newly discovered species Homo naledi. The fossils have a combination of humanlike traits in the hands, teeth, legs, and feet, but other features ...

Meet Neo, the most complete Homo naledi

New Scientist, 2017
Almost four years ago, researchers recovered 1,500 ancient hominin bones and teeth from a chamber in South Africa's Rising Star cave system, recognized as a new species of early human--Homo naledi. The team has now recovered 130 additional hominin bones and teeth from the cave.

Thigh and leg remains of Homo naledi

2016
Rising Star Cave is located in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site near Krugersdorp in South Africa. In November 2013 and March 2014 more than 1500 hominin fossil elements attributed to a new species, Homo naledi, were recovered and catalogued representing at least a dozen individuals.
