Summary
Hawks said they sampled fossils from all the chambers in the cave system and from every individual they had found. “In total, there are 200 teeth, but they don’t belong to 200 individuals, of course. “We don’t know where the males are, but what we found was super interesting. When the Wits University team first discovered and excavated the Homo naledi remains in 2013, they noticed something puzzling – the adult fossils found in the Dinaledi Chamber were all very similar. An analysis of tooth proteins suggests all 23 Homo naledi individuals found in the Rising Star cave in South Africa were female, which strengthens the case that they were placed there deliberately.
Furthermore, The study, published in the journal Cell, raises the possibility that South Africa's famous Rising Star Cave system could represent the first known example of a sex-specific burial site by a non-Homo sapiens species. Scientists have extracted and analyzed the first-ever ancient proteins from the fossils of Homo naledi, revealing a potential all-female burial site.
