Fossil

Actually a palentologist's son and his dog found this on accident. The bones have potential to change a lot about what we know of the Human Origins. It is called the Australopithecus sediba because of the holistic body which set them apart. It is dated to be from before when Lucy lived by about a million years. It was a nearly full skeleton, and two of the same species. They aren't yet sure where it fits in the human lineage, they also aren't sure if it fits in the human lineage at all. But if it does it will become a very interesting story.
