Publisher's Summary:

Homo naledi, currently the most mysterious fossil species in the human genus, may be considerably younger than previously thought, a new investigation suggests. Evolutionary trees of ancient hominids statistically reconstructed from skull and tooth measurements indicate that H. naledi lived around 912,000 years ago, say paleoanthropologist Mana Dembo of Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, and her colleagues. Thats a provisional estimate, since researchers have yet to date either H. naledis bones or the sediment in which some of its remains were excavated.

"New Date Suggested for Homo Naledi" is from the August 6, 2016 issue of Science News.
