Newer findings (remains of at least three individuals: two adults and a child) in a second chamber, known as Lesedi ("light" in the Sotho-Tswana languages), were reported by John Hawks et al. (2017). In May 2018, anthropologists provided evidence that the brain of "H. naledi" was small, but nonetheless complex, sharing structural similarities with the modern human brain.

"Homo naledi" was formally described in September 2015 by a 47-member international team of authors led by South African paleoanthropologist Lee Berger of
Homo naledi National Geographic Society has videos on its website describing, explaining and showing different phases of the discovery, the scientists, the six women excavators able to access the chamber (the "Underground Astronauts"), excavation of the fossils during a two-year period, and the process of making a model of a head of "H. naledi" from the fossils. Lee Berger introduces "Homo naledi" in a Wits University video. Homo naledi Homo naledi is an extinct species of hominin, which anthropologists first described in September 2015 and have assigned to the genus "Homo". In 2013, fossil skeletons were found in the Gauteng province of
