Hundreds of fossilised bone fragments were found in what's believed to be a burial chamber near Johannesburg. "I think this is another cog in what is becoming a much more complicated wheel than we realised," said biological anthropologist Dr Maria Elliot. "I think this is another relative that we may figure how we're related to - or not." This clip was originally from 5 live's Phil Williams show on 10th September, 2015
