Watched a show about this on the Science Channel yesterday. laid it out in good form but there are still issues with both sides of the argument. I found it most telling that almost all the inhabitants of the island where the Hobbit was found are very small. Is it genetic or is it the food supply?

Was it a colony that was transferred to the area...like the leper colony in Hawaii? Did interbreeding continue until the defect and its’ other weaknesses eventually killed the colony off?

I saw the same program.

When that older village chief showed up, man was he short.

Food of the Anti-Gods?

Story after story, and it all comes down to he-thinks/she-thinks.

Take a cheek swab & a blood sample, and let me know when the paternity test is back.

Finding truth is one thing; so is attempting to uphold one's reputation; wrangling for the sake of garnering more grant money is just unseemly.
