Vikidia Canada 1812: Forged in Fire conceptioncurriculaire - home New Human Ancestor Elicits Awe—and Many Questions Scientists reacted with a mix of awe and exasperation to the news Thursday of the discovery of fossils in South Africa that are said to define a new species of human ancestor, Homo naledi. The awe was inspired mostly by the sheer number of fossils—more than 1,500 bones, all of them from a remote chamber in the cave system called Rising Star, 30 miles northwest of Johannesburg. “It’s a stunning collection of bones, unlike any we’ve seen before,” said Carol Ward, a paleoanthropologist at the School of Medicine at the University of Missouri. Like other scientists, however, Ward tempered her enthusiasm with frustration at the discovery team’s decision to publish before more information could be gathered—most importantly, on the age of the bones. Homo naledi sports a bizarre mixture of primitive and modern traits. But dating fossils solely by what they look like is a highly risky business. Until the fossils’ age is known, some scientists say, their real value to science hangs in limbo.
