Recent discoveries in South Africa of a human skeleton lead researchers to believe that species unknown until this discovery could have existed during the transition of the ape-like Australopithecus species to "the early members of the genus Homo". In Johannesburg, South Africa two skeletons, a juvenile male and and adult female, were discovered dating from almost 2,000,000 years ago. As the skeletons were completed they concluded that these skeletons are far too advanced for the average Australopithecus, but are also not as physically mature as any species in the Homo genus. This new species of hominid is named Australopithecus sebida and they are currently searching the grounds of Johannesburg for more insight into this interesting new species.
