The immature Homo naledi ilium from the Lesedi Chamber, Rising Star Cave, South Africa [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol, 2022
Abstract Objectives Homo naledi is represented by abundant remains from the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star Cave system in South Africa. While pelvic elements from the Dinaledi Chamber of the cave are fragmentary, a relatively complete ilium (U.W. 102a–138) was recovered from the Lesedi Chamber.

Functional Morphology of the Scaphoid in Extant African Apes, Humans and Fossil Hominins. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives The morphology of the hominoid scaphoid has played a key role in functional and evolutionary hypotheses related to the emergence of hominin bipedalism and tool use. However, the scaphoid's complex morphology is challenging to comparatively analyze via traditional 2D linear measurements.

Investigating Development in Human Evolution: Specificities, Challenges, and Opportunities. [PDF]

Evol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Unlike developmental biologists, paleoanthropologists primarily investigate development using skeletal remains, specifically fossilized and already‐formed bones and teeth. Focusing on peri‐ and/or postnatal growth, they reconstruct development from fragmented “snapshots” of individual trajectories at various ontogenetic stages.

Immature Hominin Craniodental Remains From a New Locality in the Rising Star Cave System, South Africa

PaleoAnthropology, 2021
Homo naledi is known from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa, where its remains have previously been reported from two localities: the Dinaledi Chamber (U.W. 101) and Lesedi Chamber (U.W. 102). Continued exploration of the cave system has expanded

Human‐like enamel growth in Homo naledi

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 1, May 2024.
Abstract Objectives A modern pattern (rate and duration) of dental development occurs relatively recently during human evolution. Given the temporal overlap of Homo naledi with the first appearance of fossil Homo sapiens in Africa, this small‐bodied and small‐brained hominin presents an opportunity to elucidate the evolution of enamel growth in the ...
