Scientists Just Discovered an Early Human Relative, NBD
Latest
A new ancestor to humans was uncovered in a cave in South Africa, and science is having a collective orgasm over it. Eh, cool.
This historic evolutionary discovery came from a team led by a person with a sweet nerdy job, paleoanthropologist Lee Berger, who dug up the remains of fossils they claim are early primitive relatives of humans. The floor of the cave—which you can only get to through an extremely narrow entry path—was littered with bones that researchers now say belong to a species they’ve named Homo naledi.
