This article talked about the discovery of what they are calling "Australopithecus Sediba." The researchers are saying that this species may be the missing transitional species that links australopithecines and early humans. Study leader Lee Berger talks about how this skeleton shows combined traits that have never been seen before. The two bodies are guessed to be a 30 year old woman and a 8-13 year old boy. They were found in caves in South Africa. The researchers hope that the Australopithecus sediba will help solve the mystery behind the genus homo.

I actually found another article about this same topic! I was looking through posts to comment on and started reading this one, which I found very ironic. I'm very interested to see if these fossils do lead to anything major. It's crazy how scientists can still find fossils under caves and other things, which lead to so much of our history.
