Scientists presented a new species of human ancestor called Homo naledi, close to Rising Star Cave, near Krugersdorp, the place where the remains were found, Thursday. Lee Berger, research professor in the Evolutionary Studies Institute at Wits University, explained that the Homo naledi is believed to have buried its dead, which he called "an extraordinary thing." So far, humanity was thought to be the only species that did so. It was decided to call the new species naledi - which means "star" in South Africa's Sesotho language - to honour the Rising Star cave where it was found, 50 km (30 miles) northwest of Johannesburg.
