L’arbre généalogique de l’espèce humaine vient d’être agrémenté d’une nouvelle branche, jusqu’à là inconnue. Baptisée « l’Homo naledi », elle est ancienne du genre primitif et dans la lignée à laquelle appartient l’homme moderne.

L’annonce a été faite jeudi par des chercheurs de diverses nationalités à l’origine de cette découverte. La revue scientifique londonienne eLife a publié, le 10 (...)
