[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] The hands of Homo naledi, South Africa https://www.academia.edu/16701833/The_hand_of_Homo_naledi?auto=view&campaign=weekly_digest A nearly complete right hand of an adult hominin was recovered from the Rising Star cavesystem, South Africa. Based on associated hominin material, the bones of this hand areattributed to Homo naledi. This hand reveals a long, robust thumb and derived wrist morphologythat is shared with Neandertals and modern humans, and considered adaptive for intensified manual manipulation. However, the finger bones are longer and more curved than in mostaustralopiths, indicating frequent use of the hand during life for strong grasping during loco-motor climbing and suspension. These markedly curved digits in combination with an otherwisehuman-like wrist and palm indicate a significant degree of climbing, despite the derived natureof many aspects of the hand and other regions of the postcranial skeleton in H. naledi. - - - Human ancestors/relatives sleeping in forest canopy bowl nests, before dome hut inversion.
