Interesting but..........
They might have been crazed blood thirsty hobbits.
Current issue of Discover reports that Penn. State U. researchers have concluded "Homo floresiensis is not a valid new human species." Article says that some consider the bones to be those of a "pygmy...who had microcephaly."
What are the odds of anyone finding, among the very few human fossils ever found, a pinhead pygmy? However, it seems the fellow who found this specimen won't be permitted by the Indonesian govt to return to find another one.
