HALABELLA | Letimela: The Child Of Darkness (Homo naledi ) @halabella6 | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In 2013, two cavers Rick Hunter and Steven Tucker, exploring the Rising Star cave system near Johannesburg, which is the single richest fossil site of its kind ever found in Africa, discovered a tiny-brained species with shoulders and a torso like an ape’s, but with some unshakably humanlike features as well and they named the species Homo naledi, after the Sesotho word for star.
This species has been estimated to have existed between 300,000 and 200,000 years ago in South Africa.The dating of these fossils was quite unofficial though and many mysteries surround Homo naledi, including how the remains got into the caves. The team who recovered the fossils came to be known as the Underground Astronauts, due to the extremely tight spaces they needed to crawl through to access the fossil chamber.
In 2017, a skull fossil of a child likely belonging to this extinct specieswas found but it wasn’t until November 4th, 2021, that this discovery was announced.They called the skull "Leti," short for "Letimela," or "Lost One" in the Setswana language of South Africa. The child, likely aged between 4 and 6 years old at the time of their death. The fossilized remains include 28 skull fragments and six teeth, which were reconstructed by a team of experts led by Professor Lee Berger from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.
