New link in human evolution known as Homo naledi discovered in South Africa

Humans have a new branch on the family tree with the discovery of the Homo naledi in South Africa.

Scientists say they discovered the new human ancestor in a remote South African cave near Johannesburg.

Experts say the creature represents a mix of human-like and ape-like characteristics which some call bizarre and weird.
