So, I am new to blogging but the easiest way to learn is to jump right in, here I will explore new scientific finds in the last few years primarily the homo-Naledi spices that were discovered 2 or 3 years ago. The purpose of this my blog is to discuss the differences and similarities between the newly discovered spices the homo-Naledi, our spices the homo-sapiens and what this new discovery could mean for us. First off you might be asking what exactly is a homo-Naledi, the home-Naledi is a hominin that was found in a cave in South Africa by cave explorers. Their fossils "revealed a tiny-brained species with shoulders and a torso like an ape’s, but with some unshakably humanlike features as well." This new species shared multiple characteristics with another hominin but not exactly the same as any we had known. Imagine that 2015 and we are still making breakthrough scientific discoveries. Through anthropology, we understand the process of evolution and the birth and extinction of new species, fossils paint a more or less clear picture based on the density of the bone, bone structure, and many more factors. Researchers were able to date these bones between 230,000 and 335,000 years old. However, this becomes more interesting if you look at the time period and what other species were also alive at that time.
