How can you tell he’s a homo? Does the wrist show signs of limpness or something?

Looks like a smoker; note the nicotine stained fingers. Well, ex-smoker...

from the article:
"...discovered the skull of a weird, unique extinct human..." Red Badger: "Homo naledi, a new species of the genus Homo from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa"
Homo? maybe.
Human? certainly not.
At 2.8 million years old these creatures were on the border-line between our classification genus Australopithecus and genus homo which includes us.
So, Homo naledi were certainly hominins, but just as certainly not Humans.
See here for a list of genus Homo species, their ages and numbers of fossils found for each.
