All known Homo naledi skeletons seem to be female

Scientists have found that all 23 Homo naledi skeletons discovered in South Africa's Rising Star cave appear to be female, based on a detailed analysis of tooth proteins. This intriguing discovery suggests that these remains might not represent a natural burial but were possibly placed there intentionally by another group. The implications could be significant for understanding human evolution and social behaviors, as it raises questions about why only females were represented and what that means for the species' social structure and practices. This adds a new layer of mystery to our understanding of Homo naledi and their place in human history.
