Scientists found more than 1,500 fossils from about 15 people in a cave from South Africa. These people are called "Homo Naledi", and is a new type of human. The bones are 20,000 years old and can tell us that these people’s brains were very small, they had small teeth, its hands are curved, a feature seen in apes that spend time in trees. they had feet and ankles fit for walking upright so Homo Naledi, was something between the modern human and an ape.
Homo Naledi is unlike any primitive human found in Africa, so scientists claim that the discovery will change ideas about our human ancestors. They don't know how the bodies ended up in such a remote part of the caves but they have a theory: The bones were deposited by relatives as part of an ancient burial rite.
I chose this news because I think it's very interesting and it is an important discovery that can change our thinking about the evolution of man.
