- Morphological affinities of Homo naledi with other Plio-Pleistocene hominins: a phenetic approach WALTER A. NEVES DANILO V. BERNARDO IVAN PANTALEONI Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Cranio dental traits human origins human evolution multivariate analysis Recent fossil material found in Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa, was initially described as a new species of genus Homo , namely Homo naledi . The original study of this new material has pointed to a close proximity with Homo erectus . More recent investigations have, to some extent, confirmed this assignment. Here we present a phenetic analysis based on dentocranial metric variables through Principal Components Analysis and Cluster Analysis based on these fossils and other Plio-Pleistocene hominins. Our results concur that the Dinaledi fossil hominins pertain to genus Homo . However, in our case, their nearest neighbors are Homo habilis and Australopithecus sediba . We suggest that Homo naledi is in fact a South African version of Homo habilis , and not a new species. This can also be applied to Australopithecus sediba . 2017 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32753602022 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.89
