Figure 4

PCA plots of EDJ shape variation – worn analysis including a P3 and P4 from the Lesedi Chamber (marked with stars). Lesedi specimens are particularly worn, so only landmarks representing preserved regions in these specimens were included here. P3 PC1 = 57.3% total variation, PC2 = 11.5%; P4 PC1 = 56.5%, PC2 = 12.1%. A. afr = Australopithecus africanus; H. ere = Homo erectus; H. hab = Homo habilis; H. nal = Homo naledi; H. nea = Homo neanderthalensis; H. sap = Homo sapiens; P. rob = Paranthropus robustus.
