It can often be surprising to learn about the diversity of human species throughout the course of prehistory, specifically in the middle Pleistocene epoch. Over this time, a number of human species thrived in the grasslands, forests and, eventually, tundras of Planet Earth, where they adapted into a number of new, intelligent and sometimes even bizarre forms. As amazing as it is to learn about these species, it is not often easy for scientists to discern much about them.

Many remains of some of these species are fragmentary at best, even the ones that lived alongside Homo sapiens, and there are so many different species from around this time that it can be hard for scientists to determine which remains belong to which species. Enter Homo naledi, then, a species that became known to science as late as 2013. Homo naledi is an exception to this rule - over seven hundred individual skeleton elements have been uncovered from one single cave in South Africa, and scientists have, as a result, been able to establish a lot of information on what this species was, and how it lived.

Today, we will be looking at the facts surrounding Homo naledi, from its initial evolution, right through to its eventual discovery by modern humans just ten years ago. Along the way, we will examine where and how this hominid lived, and what it looked like, based on the fossil finds known to science. Sit back and relax as we take you on a tour through time to explore the life and death of Homo naledi - the 'star man'.
