Personally, I do not trust many of these radical archeological findings. This area of science is wrought with fraud and the eager willing. Let us not forget the Tasaday of the Philippines (the fake stone aged tribe), or Nebraska Man (pigs tooth), the Piltdown man (pieces of human skull and an orangutan jaw), and Archaeoraptor liaoningensis (faked feathered dinosaur fossil) to name a few. Until these finding have decades of extensive testing and massive peer review I'll just keep this nugget of info in my odd pile.
There is such a rush for science to find the oldest, biggest, smallest, or otherwise incredable find. Often in that rush they are taken by frauds, con-artists or plain sloppiness. Only time and further research will find the truth. Conclusion jumping in these matters only makes fools. Once incomplete research is in print, it stays there forever. Too many mistakes and the grants dry up.
Did you not just finish telling me these were normal skeletons?
There's no issue about the other six, it's an equatorial rain forest environment, where God placed the small people of the world (pygmy races).
There most certainly is an issue with the other six. Skeletons aren't found in a uniform random distribution in the equatorial rainforest. They cluster around highly habitable sites. What the proximity of the other skeletons says is that there is a high probability of relationship between Florensis and the other inhabitants of that site.
This is the reason why the forgery was at that location - guess what the other candidate location to have placed the microcephaly patient's skull was...
Do you have any actual eye-witness or forensic evidence to present that there was forgery involved?--other than your dispeptic convictions about biological science, I mean?
See post 14. microcephaly, per se, has been fairly well ruled out. There might conceivably be more exotic pathological explanations, but the most obvious one is a non-starter, from almost the beginning of the investigation.
Horsepucky. You made up some BS out of whole cloth. There is no evidence whatsoever of any intentional forgery, or it would have been reported in the major media, which a brief scan convinces me is not the case. Truth666 is obviously a bit of a misnomer.
the "hobbit" remains don't have any bearing on the Replacement (a master race theory) vs Multiregionalist controversy, other than showing that Replacement advocates will saddle on almost anything right away. Regarding the microcephaly, a lesson from history:
http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~bramblet/ant301/two.html
"Rudolph Virchow (1821-1902), professor of pathological anatomy at the University of Berlin and founder of the field of cellular pathology. His hobby was archeology and he was to found the German Anthropological Society in 1869. Virchow's influence in Germany through the second half of the 19th century was comparable to Cuvier's in France through the first half of the same era. Virchow believed that people of the Stone Age were identical in biology to modern humans and he attributed the different anatomy of the Neanderthal to a combination of severe rickets, repeated fractures, and severe arthritis. The Neanderthal specimen thus was relegated to controversy."

(yes, that's right -- he's also proved that the asteroid Toutatis is a hoax)
