Skulls of Homo naledi. Image: John Hawks It is great to be able to share some of our team’s research on the proteome of Homo naledi, published today in Cell. The study is the largest examination of protein data from any sample of an extinct hominin. The work has been done on teeth of Homo naledi from all parts of the cave system where we have recovered their remains, amounting to at least 22 individuals. The most fascinating finding is the simplest.

The ancient mixture in cave lion genomes

Cave lions illustrated by the artists of Chauvet Cave. Photo of a replica in the Anthropos museum, Brno, by HTO (Wikimedia Commons) Cave lions mostly didn’t live in caves. They’re like their human contemporaries, the Neanderthals, that way. Just as Neanderthals were not truly cavemen, but nineteenth-century naturalists found them there, so too with the ancient European lions. Cave lions are like Neanderthals in another way: They mixed with their African-derived relatives.
