The first naledi reconstruction utilizes a reference template based on MLD 7 and MLD 25, and the second reconstruction is based on the average of the human ilia.&nbsp;The .csv file contains columns&nbsp;for individual ID, landmark name, and the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the landmark, and each row is a unique landmark coordinate.</p> <p>Lesedi_Ilium_Height_Data.csv = A comma separated values (.csv) format file containing developmental stage and iliac height (in mm) for 43 humans,&nbsp;U.W. 102a-138, and three&nbsp;<em>Australopithecus</em> fossils (MLD 7,&nbsp;MLD 25, and the left and right sides of Sts 14).</p> <p>A 3D mesh of the U.W. 102a-138 ilium&nbsp;is available on Morphosource:&nbsp;https://www.morphosource.org/concern/media/000383216?locale=en</p>
