Maybe not a species of Earth human at all ~ imagine yourself streaking through the universe and there goes that doggone tooth again so you stop at Earth to get it checked out.

To avoid too much notice you visit a renegade Nazi dentist hiding in Indonesia.

He fixes you right up, pulling your older gold filling in payment.

Sure, all makes sense.

Paleodentistry. And from the pearly whiteness, it looks like his teeth were capped, too!

That reminds me.. I need to go to the dentist in a couple of months.

...but did not want to go public until he had a chance to verify them with the original remains. He has yet to see the bones, but decided to air his theory because it has become increasingly apparent that he may never get the opportunity. (A request to do so was denied.)

I'm curious if there was any particular reason given for the refusal.

It’s Gollum That’s no filling. It’s the Ring!

all joking asside, hobbits existed? or is just some dumbass article?

[TigersEye]

Maciej Henneberg, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Adelaide in
Australia contends on the basis of photographs that LB1 had a filling-

My dentist is more scientific than that. Thankfully!

A CT scan...why not take an x-ray if they want a better look. I worked in a dental office for many years and my first thought upon reading the article was...take an x-ray if you really want to know. Then I notice in the last paragraph it says an x-ray has not been taken...well why not?

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
