    To me the statue looks, especially the proportions and hairless face, very much like a chimpanzee which does not appear to be indigenous to Botswana. The feet, though, look more “homo.”

    On a continent where huge previously unknown populations of animals seem to be found every other year or so, a previously-unknown species of hominoid isn’t exactly the most farfetched thing.
