    An initial report of circa 241,000- to 335,000-year-old rock engravings and their relation to Homo naledi in the Rising Star cave system, South Africa

    Lee R Berger, John Hawks ... Keneiloe Molopyane
    Engraved features found within the Dinaledi Subsystem are interpreted as being made by Homo naledi in the absence of evidence of other candidate makers.
