But could they tell right from wrong? Evolution, moral responsibility and human distinctiveness
HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2017 This article takes as its point of departure the public interest aroused by the discovery of Homo naledi and the debate about the possibility that H. naledi buried their dead. If they buried their dead, did H.

Fossils and tombs and how they haunt us
HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2017 Fossils and tombs in museums fascinate us and haunt us with their secrets. The discovery of the remains of Homo naledi, found, as argued by some, in an ancient burial chamber, promises to reveal secrets of an unremembered past, thus offering clues ...

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 ...

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 Here we report unpublished immature vertebral remains from the 2013 excavations of the Dinaledi Chamber ...

Mandibular molar root and pulp cavity morphology in Homo naledi and other Plio-Pleistocene hominins [PDF]
, 2019 The craniomandibular morphology of Homo naledi shows variable resemblances with species across Homo, which confounds an easy assessment of its phylogenetic position. In terms of skull shape, H.

Cave sedimentation processes in the Homo naledi-bearing Rising Star Cave, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa [PDF]
, 2021 Jelle Wiersma studied the sedimentary process occurring in the Homo naledi-bearing Rising Star Cave in South Africa. He found that the cave sediments entered the cave between 600-150 ka and that they are locally sourced from the nearby, but migrating ...

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

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.
