Discoverers of new hominin fossils are a notoriously self-promoting group, often claiming their find is a direct human ancestor, and the most important one, too, so it's refreshing to see a group announce a discovery confirming what has actually been long believed by less attention-seeking hominin researchers, that despite the claims of all the extravagant self-promoters in the human origins field, our ancestry is likely a very complex bush. The new discovery may indicate that human evolution is more complex than we had evidence for, but not more complex than we thought.
