Summary

DescriptionAssociated pedal elements of Homo naledi from Dinaledi chamber, South Africa.jpg

English: Foot bones of Homo naledi: From left——to right:

Foot 1. Adult right
Foot 2. Immature left
Foot 3. Adult left
Foot 4. Adult left
Foot 5. Immature right.

Adult foot 3 is based on morphological. And size congruity between the——individual elements. However, they were collected in a widely dispersed region and "therefore this foot is not as certain on taphonomic grounds."

Immature foot 5 is based on morphological and size congruity between the "elements." Specimens U.W. 101-467, -1623, and -1662 were collected together and are almost certainly associated. The association of these tarsals with the metatarsals and phalanges is questionable.
