re: #125 William Lewis

Oh yeah! New member of genus Homo - H. Naledi announced today. Been following the Rising Star cave excavation but didn’t think that the species would be within Homo.

Paper is at elifesciences.org

Appears to be complete and free online though here at work I haven’t tried to read it.

Very cool. I lived for a year in Pretoria, which is in Gauteng province where the fossils were found.

They’ve collected 1550 specimens, including these hands in complete articulation. That’s a rare find.
