Meaning-making behavior in a small-brained hominin, Homo naledi, from the late Pleistocene: contexts and evolutionary implications

A. Fuentes, M. Kissel, P. Spikins, K. Molopyane, J. Hawks, L. R. Berger

The paper presents evidence of complex meaning-making behaviors in Homo naledi, challenging the assumption that large brains are necessary for advanced behavioral complexity.
