A recent debate within creationist circles has reached a new point about the baraminic status of Homo naledi, a new primate species discovered in South Africa. Initial studies based on craniodental characters suggested that H. naledi is probably a member of the human holobaramin. However, subsequent analyses of the post-cranium have cast this original statement into doubt. Analyses of the thorax, upper limb, thigh, and foot of H. naledi suggest that this species shows continuity with australopiths, and discontinuity with the human holobaramin. The present study analyzes five characters of the atlas and axis, as well as 22 characters of the antepenultimate and the penultimate thoracic vertebrae. The results show statistically significant continuity between two members of the human holobaramin as well as continuity between Homo naledi and three Australopithecus species as well as Paranthropus robustus. Analysis of the 22 characters with weights reinforces already existing baraminic relationships. More importantly, statistically significant discontinuity is shown to exist between members of the human holobaramin and the Australopithecine baramin. Fresh evolutionary dates assigned to H. naledi of 236–335 ka, which are three times younger than predicted previously, strongly contradicting the evolutionary narrative that H. naledi was a species basal to the genus Homo. This study provides further evidence that Homo naledi is indeed not a member of the human holobaramin, but related rather to australopiths.
