The story of human evolution used to be a simple, lonely tale of one species living at one period and gradually developing into another. However, since the discovery of the bones of a mysterious and ancient new species of human deep inside a cave in South Africa by Lee Berger and John Hawks, bones of long-lost family members have piled up.
However, it is remarkable for its blend of ancient and modern traits. It possesses a small brain and curled fingers that are well-adapted for climbing, yet its wrists, hands, legs, and feet resemble those of Neanderthals or contemporary humans. If the timing is correct, Homo naledi may have developed in Africa around two million years ago, but retained some of its more primitive characteristics even as modern humans evolved, according to Chris Stringer.
