An infant vertebral column of Homo naledi

American journal of physical anthropology, 2021
Homo naledi is represented by abundant remains from Rising Star Cave in South Africa, dating to 236–335 kya. The fragmentary and commingled nature of most specimens hinders understanding of this species’ biology, especially growth and development. Here we report unpublished immature vertebral remains from the 2013 excavations of the Dinaledi Chamber ...
