As the world woke up to welcome a new member of the human species on Friday, scientists kept working in the wee hours to uncover more about Homo naledi -- a broad-chested fellow who walked upright and had a face with a smile that was probably more human than ape-like years ago. Let's look at what they found - Apart from a tiny brain, hunched shoulders and thin limbs, it also had powerful hands which means it was also a good climber and built for long-distance walking. Fully grown, it stood about five feet tall and weighed about 45 kg. So far, the team has recovered parts of at least 15 individuals of the same species, a small fraction of the fossils believed to remain in the Dinaledi Chamber or "Chamber of Stars", some 50 kms northwest of Johannesburg in South Africa.
