From finding the building blocks for life on Mars to breakthroughs in gene editing and the rise of artificial intelligence, here are six major scientific...
The exhibit coincides with the publication of a controversial paper that questions the widely-held view that humanity’s evolutionary roots lay in Africa.
Wits Vice-Chancellor Adam Habib was speaking at the announcement of the discovery of an incomplete skeleton named Neo, believed to be a specimen of Homo naledi.
Wits University’s Paul Dirks says the dating process felt relatively long because more than one method was used to ensure accuracy.
Scientists have announced the discovery of a new Homo naledi skeleton, Neo, & a new chamber in the Rising Star cave system. The chamber has been named Lesedi & it's similar in shape to the Dinaledi chamber in which the first Homo Naledi fossils were found.
Professor Lee Berger and his team has made a new discovery - a new chamber with Homo naledi in it. The skeleton has been named Neo, which means "Gift".
Scientists have announced a 'major' new fossil discovery.
New evidence suggests that Homo naledi didn't deliberately deposit their dead in a hidden chamber.
Canadian researchers say Homo naledi lived 912,000 years ago, rather than 2 million years.
Professor Francis Thackeray has made shocking revelations that could rattle the world of paleoanthropology and theories of whether a species such as Homo naledi are capable of complex behaviour.
An investigation into whether this is true could offer a new explanation for the so-called ‘burial chamber’.
Dr Francis Thackeray says his estimated two million year mark could be off by up to 500,000 years.
Alex Eliseev says that to pull science research into the mainstream, there is no choice but to simplify.
Researchers say they now have to come up with new dating methods to work on their discovery.
The new research papers illustrate how human-like Homo naledi's feet were.
Mathole Motshekga has accused Zapiro of violating the dignity of the NPA’s through his latest cartoon.
CARTOON: No more monkey business!
The SACC welcomed Homo naledi, but doesn’t approve of the theory that humans come from baboons.
