This study is printed in a general called 'ELIF'.

The name of this species has been described as 'Naledi' and has been classified into Homo group. Humans are classified in the same group.

However, researchers searching for this species have not yet been able to find out how long this species survived.

3 million years

Professor Lee Berger, who led the research, told BBC News that they may have been ancestors of humans and hoped that they would have lived in Africa up to 3 million years ago.

Professor Berger states that Naledi can be seen as a "bridge" between an ancient narwoman walking on two legs and a human.

According to Professor Berger he thought of extracting a fossil when he went there, but gradually he found many fossils there and in op'ir he found a lot of skeletons.

According to him, at the end of 21 days of experience, he found the largest human fossil, which is considered to be the biggest discovery in the history of the continent.

Professor Chris Stinger of the Natural History Museum says that "Naledi is an important discovery." ''.

These 15 partial skeletons are of different ages, male, female, elderly, and analysts.

According to Professor Berger, "We will know everything about the species." We know when babies were born, how they developed, at what pace they grew and how they developed at every stage between a man and a woman after the baby was born. ''
