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 ...

Metatarsophalangeal proportions of Homo naledi

South African Journal of Science, 2019
Post-cranial differences between extant apes and humans include differences in the length, shape and size of bone elements relative to each other; i.e. differences in proportions.

Grafismos Hominídeos - Proto-Estética ou Protos-Símbolos: o Homo Naledi Geometrizava?

Revista Brasileira de História da Matemática
No presente artigo estudam-se os mais antigos grafismos produzidos por hominídeos, em especial os do Homo naledi. Apresenta-se a evolução do gênero Homo. Discute-se se representam protos-símbolos ou se são produtos de uma proto-estética.

Morphological affinities of Homo naledi with other Plio-Pleistocene hominins: a phenetic approach

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Recent 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.

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Developmental stress in South African hominins: Comparison of recurrent enamel hypoplasias in Australopithecus africanus and Homo naledi

South African Journal of Science, 2019
Discovery of a new hominin (Homo naledi) in the same geographical area as Australopithecus africanus creates the opportunity to compare developmental dental stress in higher latitude hominins with low that in latitude apes, among whom repetitive linear ...

Recent progress in studies of the last million years of human physical and behavioural evolution Avancées récentes dans l’étude du dernier million d'années d’évolution physique et éthologique de l'espèce humaine

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article presents a synthesis of recent developments in the study of human evolution over the past five years. It begins with an overview of hominin species nomenclature and diversity, followed by an examination of the proposed population bottleneck ∼900,000 years ago.

Hominin dispersals: causes, conditions, and outcomes Dispersions des hominines : causes, conditions et issues

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The ‘Out of Africa’ model that has dominated palaeoanthropology for nearly three decades was originally based on five elements: a recent ancestry to human populations; an African origin for the ancestral population; limited or no gene flow among archaic hominins and no admixture between modern humans and Neanderthals; a marked difference between the ...

Long-term patterns of body mass and stature evolution within the hominin lineage [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Body size is a central determinant of a species' biology and adaptive strategy, but the number of reliable estimates of hominin body mass and stature have been insufficient to determine long-term patterns and subtle interactions in these size components ...

Re-visiting the notion of Deep Incarnation in light of 1 Corinthians 15:28 and emergence theory

HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2016
Niels Hendrik Gregersen’s ‘Deep Incarnation’ is opening up possibilities for engagementbetween science and theology. Recent discoveries, like that of Homo naledi, raise questions abouthow inclusive a Christian doctrine of Incarnation is.
