Meet Homo naledi - a newly discovered species of extinct hominin from the Rising Star cave system in the Cradle of Humankind, South Africa. What can the curvature of a finger bone tell us about this mysterious new ancestor, and what can this landmark discovery tell us about human evolution? 

Tracy Kivell and Chris Stringer will answer these questions and more as we discuss whether Homo naledi is rewriting human history.
