The Guardian has a story about the recent discovery of new ancient human fossils. The bones were found in a deep narrow cave in South Africa. They are believed to be part of a new species of Homo, Homo naledi. National Geographic has a video that describes the find in detail. Additionally, Nova has a special, "Dawn of Humanity", which appears on PBS on Sept 16th, 2015, at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT. The original paper was published in the journal eLIFE.
