Scientists have discovered the fossilized remains of an unusual human-like creature that lived long ago. Exactly how long ago is still a mystery and that's not the only mystery surrounding this newfound species. The bones have a strange mix of primitive and modern features, and were found in an even stranger place an almost inaccessible chamber deep inside a South African cave called Rising Star. "It is perhaps one of the best-known caves in all of South Africa," says Lee Berger, who studies human evolution at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. In 2013, some local cavers found some fossils inside Rising Star cave. Berger had asked them to be on the lookout, so they brought him photos. "And there I saw something I perhaps thought I'd never see in my life," recalls Berger. "That is, clearly primitive hominin remains lying on the floor of a cave."..................... |
