Tropico 4,145 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 MAROPENG – A new species with human-like features called Homo naledi has been revealed as a historic discovery made in South Africa.Details of the significant fossil discovery have been kept secret for years and were unveiled at Maropeng in the Cradle of Humankind at 11am today.A team of scientists and researchers, led by Wits University professor Lee Berger, believe they’ve unearthed a new species of human relative in the world’s richest hominin fossil site, the Cradle of Humankind.Homo naledi is named after the chamber in which it was discovered, deep in the Rising Star caves. Homo naledi is a bit smaller and a lot older than we are, with curved fingers and a small skull, but in some ways the species is also strikingly similar to humankind.http://ewn.co.za/-/media/60036DADFE1C48409042C3E5547EED8F.ashx (picture) http://m.ewn.co.za/2015/09/10/New-species-Homo-naledi-revealed-as-historic-discovery-made-in-SA ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
