This article is about the discovery of two partial skeletons of Australopithicus Sediba which are over 2 million years old. They were found in South Africa by Dr. James Pickering. This fossils are important becaus they are possibly the best fossils from a transition species. This species is believed to be the transition between our Genus Homo and the Australopithicus genus which was prevuioisly unknown. These findings help full in the gap. These fossils give us great insight to how the Australopithicus transferred into Homo Habilis.

I found a different article about the same discovery of fossils. I thought it was interesting to know that a new species of our ancestors was found, and excited to see how this discovery could help further our understanding of our family tree.
I think that it is incredible that the findings help further prove this specific theory of evolution. They really do help paint a better picture of the path that our ancestors traveled to get to where we are today.
