Extended Data Fig. 5 in A new species of Homo from the Late Pleistocene of the Philippines

Extended Data Fig. 5 | CCH2, intermediate manual phalanx of H. luzonensis. a, Photograph of the original specimen CCH2 in palmar view. b, Three-dimensional rendering of CCH2. From left to right: palmar, lateral, dorsal, medial, distal (top), proximal (bottom), disto-lateral and proximo-lateral aspects. c, Comparison of CCH2 with Pliocene (A.L.333- 88), Lower Pleistocene (OH7 (FLK NN-F) and KNM-WT 15000BO), Upper Pleistocene (LB1/48) and recent (PAPO-74-11) intermediate manual phalanges in palmar (top) and side (bottom) views. All specimens are from rays 2–5 of unknown side, except for OH7 (third ray, probably from the right hand of a juvenile individual). Note the unique proximally accentuated beak located on the dorsum of the proximal surface of CCH2. d–f, Relative robusticity of the intermediate manual phalanx CCH2. Box-and-whisker plots depicting the ratio of the interarticular length (IA) and the maximum medio-lateral width of the base (MLbase) (d), the head (MLend) (e) and the midshaft (MLmid) (f). Box, 25–75th percentiles; centre line, median; whiskers, non-outlier range; dots, outliers; dotted line, value for CCH2. AE-eH, African and European early Homo; Aus, Australopithecus; Hf, H. floresiensis; Hl, H. luzonensis; Hna, H. naledi; Hn, H. neanderthalensis; Hs, H. sapiens, Par/eH, Paranthropus/early Homo. n indicates sample size. A detailed list of specimens can be found in Supplementary Table 8. For conservative reasons, taxonomic assignation of hand remains of OH7 and several SKX specimens are considered to be uncertain (see main text and Methods). Scale bars, 10 mm.
