The Rising Star cave system (also known as Westminster or Empire cave) is located in the Malmani dolomites, in Bloubank River valley about southwest of Swartkrans, part of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site.〔〔 Recreational caving occurred there in the 1960s.〔 Fossils found (starting in 2013) in the cave were in 2015 proposed to represent an extinct species of hominin, assigned to the genus ''Homo,'' named ''Homo naledi''.〔 ==Origins of names== In the 1980s, the names "Empire", "Westminster" and "Rising Star" were in parallel use. ''Dinaledi Chamber'' ("chamber of stars")〔Sesotho ''dinaledi'' is a class 10 plural noun built on the class 9 noun ''naledi'' "star" ((Bukantswe v.3 ) dictionary).〕 was so named by members of the ''Rising Star Expedition'' in 2013. A portion of the cave is called Superman's Crawl because most people can fit through only by holding one arm tightly against the body and extending the other above the head, in the manner of Superman in flight.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rising Star Cave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
