eLife Assessment and public reviews (version of record): Evidence for deliberate burial of the dead by Homo naledi
eLife editors and reviewers, 2025. eLife.
The editors' assessment of the final version rates the claim's significance "landmark" if true and records a split on the strength of evidence: one reviewer finds it "convincing", another "incomplete", chiefly because how the hominins got into the chamber is not known. The editors add that the authors lean on precedent from their own earlier papers and that any study has to rest on its own merit. Two public reviews are attached.
