Skull size of Homo naledi I want to 3D print the skull of the newly discovered _Homo naledi_. The printing data can be found here: < Where can I find the exact size of the skull so that I get a 1:1 copy? Google was of no help.

Based on Figure 11 in the original publication (scale bar = 10 cm):

The anteroposterior length of the skull should be about 16.3 cm. I just printed out the figure and did the conversion.

So check that your 3D printing software estimates a little over 16 cm for the length from brow ridge to occipital. The full reconstructed skull will be longer of course, but this should give you a concrete measurement to compare to.
