Scientists claim discovery of new species of ancient human

chapman writes: The discovery of human-like bones in the Rising Star cave, 50km from Johannesburg, may belong to a new species of “long-legged”, “pinheaded” and “gangly” human relative. Apparently the chamber in the cave where the discovery was made is so inaccessible (only 8 inches wide) that the team brought in a group of lightly-built female researchers in order to excavate the bones.
