  1. You might think, maybe Naledi just didn't have the Y variant we recognize, or it somehow didn't preserve as well, or the sequencing somehow didn't pick it up, but Hawks (who in my experience is generally pretty cautious) argues these kinds of scenarios are unlikely. And as it is it turns out, there were hints in other data long before they did the protein work

  6. The #HomoNaledi story gets weirder. From tooth enamel protein, all the ~20 individuals they were able to get good results for appear to have been female 🤨

  11. Proteomics of 20 Homo naledi individuals from South Africa’s Rising Star cave: no male markers found in any specimen. Ancient enamel proteins are opening a molecular window into one of paleoanthropology’s most puzzling species. #HomoNaledi #Paleoanthropology #AncientProteins anthropology.net/p/no-males-fo

  16. New Study Challenges Long-Held Idea that Our Ancestors Simply Got Bigger Over Time

    For decades, paleoanthropologists assumed that hominins — the lineage leading to modern humans — gradually grew larger over…

  17. Researchers in South Africa uncovered new Homo naledi remains deep inside a hidden cave system. The mysterious species may have intentionally buried their dead despite having much smaller brains than modern humans — challenging everything we thought about human evolution.

  22. Evidence shows Homo naledi deliberately buried their dead

    Deep inside the Rising Star cave system in South Africa, researchers have discovered what is possibly the oldest known evidence of deliberate burial by a non-human species of early hominin. The researchers, publishing in eLife, are studying Homo naledi, a small-brained species that lived more than 240,000 years ago...

  27. Wie kann ein winziger Schädel unsere Sicht auf die Evolution verändern?
    15 Individuen des Homo Naledi, mit einem Gehirn so groß wie eine Orange, geben der Forschung Rätsel auf. Ihre Bestattungen verändern unser Bild vom frühen Menschen:

  32. #Homonaledi has been one of the most interesting topics swirling around #Paleoanthropology circles for the last decade now.

    There is so much to learn, so much misunderstanding, and I believe, as well as many others, that there is much more work to be done.

    But the fun part is staying up to date with it.

    Catch all the latest Homo naledi news, including interviews with the leads of the team, and more, in this playlist - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTL

    Keep an open mind, but always be critical!

  33. Oh wow, this is actually pretty big; see, we dont have to take everything at face value. Be scrutinus. Ask questions. If somone is doing something outside of the normal bounds, there is often a reason, and it is not always good -

    Of course in referance to #HomoNaledi and the pre-prrints published in this journal (the only journal that would accept them as is).

    Wow!

  34. New Pre-Print Paper out about #HomoNaledi! Check out my quick coverage, and read the over 100-page paper yourself here and read the evidence for yourself on whether or not H. naledi buried their dead!

  35. Why was #Homonaledi in #RisingStar? We don't know; we may never know. But so far, there is no evidence that they buried their dead, according to a new paper, not pre-print. Published paper! Check it out, video to come ASAP - paleoanthropology.org/ojs/inde

  36. A new, detailed paper is out showing that there is no evidence for deliberate sedimentary burial of #homonaledi; video coming soon -

    Shocker? Not exactly. No, this is not a personal attack on the team.

    Auf den ersten Blick sehen diese #Hände unseren sehr ähnlich, auf den zweiten sind die #Finger kurz, zierlich und irgendwie rund. Der #HomoNaledi war uns sehr ähnlich, aber doch ganz anders. Dass er entdeckt wurde, war bereits ein spannendes Abenteuer. Deshalb möchte ich euch die ganze #Geschichte erzählen:
