s this the first human? Extraordinary find in a South African cave suggests man may be up to 2.8million years old

• Named Homo naledi, the species has been assigned to the genus Homo
• Scientists unearthed more than 1,500 bones belonging to 15 individuals
• It is not yet clear how skeletons - ranging from babies to elderly individuals - ended up in a remote region of a large cave
• Bodies may have been disposed of deliberately, or a catastrophic 'death trap' scenario in which the humans got stuck are possibilities
• The age of the skeletons are yet to be determined although scientists say they could be anything between 20,000 and two million years old
