Among the preserved remains of Homo naledi there is a femoral head (UW 101-1300) without a lateral surface. On it, the fossa of the femoral head is clearly visible, measuring 8.6 by 6.6 mm. It is deeply pitted with several holes inside. (2016MarchiD_DeSilvaJM:Fig.9). This observation provides clear evidence for the presence of a ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in Homo naledi, specifically the distal attachment site.

Homo naledi pelvic remains are small fragments of the ilium, ischium, pubis, and sacrum (2018VanSickleC_HawksJ). None of the parts contain an acetabulum, which could be used to differentiate the proximal attachment site of the LCF.
