The discovery that lead to a lot of evolutionary questions

In our latest Biology unit, we have been looking at the evolution of Humankind. As part of an exercise, I explored an article posted on the Natural History Museum website and wrote a summary of what we discovered. Here is my summary...

This article describes the recently discovered descendant of the Homo sapien species, H. naledi (discovered 2013), and the journey that was taken to uncover them. It covers a series of facts such as how Palaeoanthropologist Lee Berger organized the excavation of the species, as well as the features demonstrated by the species. A section of the article discusses the “puzzling combination of features” that the species has. The primitive features such as sharp canine teeth (which is a primitive feature) are seen alongside very modern features such as human-like hand proportions. The article also talks about the location of the bones and how the fossil site itself was discovered. This has sparked several conversations about H. naledi's true place on the evolutionary scale. The article highlights that this species increased the complexity of the H. sapien family tree and evolutionary scale.
