I believe it is safe to assume the general idea of the
discovery of a new species has been covered. Below I have included a picture of
what anthropologists believe the homo-naledi looked like during their time.
Bones and anatomy have worked together to create this realistic picture of the
species. This includes remains like those of Neo. Neo was found in a cave with
the remains of two adults and one child. In this image you can see he has bone
structure of that similar to other hominins, there are very distinct differences
through. Its upper body, mainly the torso resembles that of an ape while legs
and hands are distinctly those of homo-sapiens or humans. The shape of the
fingers indicates the ability to climb or make tools while long legs and feet
show ability to walk. Though its body has a striking resemblance to humans,
their brain was only the size of a small piece of fruit. This mix of primitive
and advanced evolution in one spices is what makes this discovery so unique and
inviting, reading on this amazing species endowed in me a new appreciation for
anthropology and evolution.
