Developmental simulation of the adult cranial morphology of Australopithecus sediba by Keely B. Carlson, Darryl J. de Ruiter, Thomas J. DeWitt, Kieran P. McNulty, Kristian J. Carlson, Paul Tafforeau, Lee R. Berger

“…The type specimen of Australopithecus sediba (MH1) is a late juvenile, prompting some commentators to suggest that had it lived to adulthood its morphology would have changed sufficiently so as to render hypotheses regarding its phylogenetic relations suspect. …”

Mandibular ramus morphology and species identification in Australopithecus sediba by John Hawks, Lee R. Berger

“… The site of Malapa, South Africa, has produced fossil evidence from multiple individuals of Australopithecus sediba including the partial skeletons designated as MH1 (holotype) and MH2 (paratype). …”

The stable isotope setting of Australopithecus sediba at Malapa, South Africa by Emily Holt, Paul Dirks, Christa Placzek, Lee Berger

“…The sediments were deposited during a short-period magnetic reversal at 1.977±0.003 Ma, immediately preceding deposition of Facies D sediments that contain the type fossils of Australopithecus sediba. Values of δ13C range between -5.65 and -2.09 with an average of -4.58±0.54‰ (Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite, VPDB) and values of δ18O range between -6.14 and -3.84 with an average of -4.93±0.44‰ (VPDB). …”

Temporal ranges and ancestry in the hominin fossil record: The case of Australopithecus sediba by Chris Robinson, Timothy L. Campbell, Susanne Cote, Darryl J. de Ruiter

“…We examined the limitations of temporal data for reconstructing hominin evolutionary relationships, specifically focusing on the hypothesised ancestor–descendant relationship between Australopithecus sediba and the genus Homo. Some have implied that because the only known specimens of A. sediba are dated to later than the earliest fossils attributed to Homo, the former species is precluded from being ancestral to the latter. …”

New fossils of Australopithecus sediba reveal a nearly complete lower back by Scott A Williams, Thomas Cody Prang, Marc R Meyer, Thierra K Nalley, Renier Van Der Merwe, Christopher Yelverton, Daniel García-Martínez, Gabrielle A Russo, Kelly R Ostrofsky, Jeffrey Spear, Jennifer Eyre, Mark Grabowski, Shahed Nalla, Markus Bastir, Peter Schmid, Steven E Churchill, Lee R Berger

“…Newly discovered lumbar vertebrae contribute to a near-complete lower back of Malapa Hominin 2 (MH2), offering additional insights into posture and locomotion in Australopithecus sediba. We show that MH2 possessed a lower back consistent with lumbar lordosis and other adaptations to bipedalism, including an increase in the width of intervertebral articular facets from the upper to lower lumbar column (‘pyramidal configuration’). …”
