A year-long study has revealed that two fossil skeletons of early humans possess characteristics that land in between those of primitive “ape-men” and our immediate ancestors, as some bones look almost human while others display a more chimpanzee-like profile.
The well preserved fossils date back 1,977,000 years and were discovered in 2008 in a Malapa cave system near Johannesburg, South Africa. The specimens have been given the name, Australopithecus sediba.
