TL;DR: Homo naledi is a previously-unknown species of extinct hominin discovered within the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa, characterized by body mass and stature similar to small-bodied human populations but a small endocranial volume similar to australopiths.

TL;DR: The Lesedi Chamber skeletal sample extends the knowledge of the morphology and variation of H. naledi, and evidence from both recovery localities shows a consistent pattern of differentiation from other hominin species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturation is prolonged and variable in female chimpanzees.
TL;DR: Improved estimates of maturation milestones in a population of wild female chimpanzees are provided and the importance of maternal factors in development is indicated.

TL;DR: The H. naledi upper limb is markedly primitive, retaining morphology conducive to climbing while lacking many of the derived features related to effective throwing or running purported to characterize other members of early Homo.
