    Not necessarily ancestral but still an interesting new species.

    I jumped the gun on saying ancestral, but still very interesting. I guess when they pointed out the size of the brain was about a third the size of modern humans I made an erroneous leap to members posting in our off topic threads.

    Wait... Everything I've read said it was human species. Are they misinterpreting the information?

    It's not a direct human relative, but another branch on the tree with a few more human like features.

    Okay, let me rephrase my question. Is this thing part of the homosapien family?

    Forgive me for being stupid here. It looks like they are related, being on the same sub group.

    No, but we likely had a common ancestor that was also hominid.
