	abstract = {<p>It has been just over 10\&thinsp;years since the first fossils attributed to Homo naledi were recovered from the Rising Star Cave system in South Africa\&rsquo;s Cradle of Humankind. The hominin fossil evidence for H. naledi displays a distinctive combination of primitive and derived morphology, yet for a time-averaged fossil sample it is remarkable for its relatively low level of variation. Thus\&mdash;unusually for palaeoanthropology\&mdash;there has been little pushback against the decision to recognize a single novel taxon for all of the material recovered from the Rising Star Cave system. However, almost everything else claimed about H. naledi\&mdash;its age, burial context and behaviour\&mdash;has been controversial. Here we examine the strength of the evidence for these claims.</p>
