Answer 1

Answer:

A. It has yet to be dated.

Explanation:

Homo naledi is a hominids species that was discovered in the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star Cave system in South Africa in 2013. The expedition found more than 1550 specimens from at least 15 Homo naledi individuals. Another 133 specimens of at least 3 individuals were found on the nearby Lesedi Chamber. It is not true that the species is yet to be dated, as the fossils have been dated to between  335,000 and 236,000 years ago.
