Archeologists and a group of expert scientists in South Africa have nailed it out that a apart from humans there was yet another relative species which has lived on this earth. After the discovery of  a cave in South Africa experts and scientists said that they have found a new species of human relative subsequently examining fossils of the cave.

Human Relative Species, Homo Naledi Discovered in South Africa

John Hawks, one of the most widely acclaimed paleoanthropologist states that they were ascertained with fossils of a creature, called Homo Naledi boasting surprising mix of human and primitive characteristics. He further briefed that perhaps this extinguished species may be human race’s closest relatives which makes him to consider this after being through the preliminary reports as a an early member of the evolutionary group.

About 40 kilometres west of Johannesburg the new species Homo Naledi was found in the Cradle of Humankind which is conceived of shakeuping existing evolutionary tree since newly brought out species is boasting lineaments of humans and Neanderthals so far. Archeologists and scientists who took part in the excavation and research study said “about 1,550 fossils come from at least 15 individuals but their age is unknown and that makes it hard to know how important the discovery is.”

Witwatersrand University professor Lee Berger, who led the team of experts for the discovery said “What we have is a tall hominid, between 1.45 and 1.5 metres tall, was very skinny, had powerful joint muscles and had a brain about the size of my fist.” On hand, Lee Berger team along with a group of researchers are saying bones found in a South African cave are Homo Naledi, a new species of the ancient human relative while some experts are sceptical of the find.
