Fossils

My article was about Darryl de Ruiter and his team naming a new species, Australopithecus sediba, in April 2010. The team found multiple individuals of Australopithecus sediba that show both human like and ape like characteristics intermediate between Australopithecus and present-day humans. The remains were found in South Africa This is significant to the study of human evolution because it may yield new clues to human development and answer key questions of the evolution of the human lineage.
