Abstract

The article discusses the evolution of the human pelvis through referencing fossil discoveries of the pelvises of hominins, including that of Homo erectus. The paleoanthropological discovery of the fossil of the Homo naledi at the Rising Star cave in South Africa, including its similar anatomy to the prehistoric hominid known as Lucy, is discussed.
