South African fossils are human ‘missing link,’ says new study

Author:

Specimens discovered in South Africa 10 years ago represent the long-sought mysterious missing link in our knowledge of human evolution, scientists have concluded in a new research study. The partly fossilized 2 million-year-old bones of an adult female and a juvenile male were found in 2008 in a cavern in Malapa near Johannesburg. Researchers discovered that the Australopithecus sediba species is closely related to the Homo genus, and fills a key gap in the chain of human evolution between early humans and our more ape-like ancestors.
