Australopithecus sediba

A new species of Australopithecus was found around in South Africa. This new discovery was on April 8, 2010. Although not very current, research is still going on. Surprisingly enough, a nine-year old boy found the remains of this species. However, these were found August 8th, 2008 but only made public in April. There were the remains of two separate bodies.

I thought this was interesting because I did a project on Australopithcus in 7th grade. Since I knew what they were and some of the history, I knew how big a discovery like this is. This is a big step for scientists getting closer to finding the whole history of humans. I think everything will make a little bit more since after this finding. Something like this could change the history of the world.
