Professor Chris Stringer, leader of human origin research at London's Natural History Museum, said it was the first skeletal remains in the world and named Australopithecus Sediba.

It is known that this skeleton was found in Malapa cave in South Africa.

Scientists say Australopithecus Sediba's fingers have a similar ratio to the body in modern humans. The shape of the front of the brain cavity, teeth, pelvis and legs also exhibits human-like characteristics.

Based on this, scientists first showed evidence that Sediba evolved into a human being, although brain size, body shape, shoulder structure and arm size were the same size as a human ape.

Professor Chris Stringer, leader of human origin research at London's Natural History Museum, said: 'Australopithecus Sediba plays an important role in shaping our understanding of the evolutionary path of species. people".

Currently these two skeletons are displayed in the Natural History Museum in London, England.
