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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The obstetric dilemma: an ancient game of Russian roulette, or a variable dilemma sensitive to ecology?
TL;DR: The nature of the human obstetric dilemma is re-evaluate using updated hominin and primate literature, and the contribution of phenotypic plasticity to variability in its magnitude is considered.

Journal ArticleDOI
Functional morphology of the ankle and the likelihood of climbing in early hominins
TL;DR: This study finds that chimpanzees engage in an extraordinary range of foot dorsiflexion and inversion during vertical climbing bouts, and concludes that if hominins included tree climbing as part of their locomotor repertoire, then they were performing this activity in a manner decidedly unlike modern chimpanzees.
