Summary

Description
English: Reconstucted Homo naledi skull made from casts taken from two different specimens as no complete skulls of this species have been found. Homo naledi is an extinct hominin, first identified in 2013, that lived in Sterkfontein area of South Africa. The cranial capacity of the skull is between 465 and 560 cm3, roughly one third that of modern humans.[1][2][3]

During September and October 2015, this reconstruction was part of the Naledi Fossil Exhibition on public display at the Maropeng Visitor Centre, Cradle of Humankind site (close to where it was found). The whole collection is now in the safgekeeping of the University of the Witwatersrand.
