The partial skeleton of Homo floresiensis, found in a cave on the island of Flores, is of an adult female that was a metre (3 feet) tall, had a chimpanzee-sized brain and was substantially different from modern humans. In other words, it was a small ape.
Just 'cause something was sorta shaped like a person and three foot tall don't make it a hobbit. Yeesh...everyone wants to get on the bandwagon these days...

If it has a brain the size of a chimp's isnt' it rather likely that it IS a chimp or variety of chimp? And how does finding one skeletan extrapolate to an entire population or species?
I am always amused by the imaginations of some people. They find a few chipped rocks and some pieces of skeletan in Africa and create whole new classes of "hominids" that supposedly fill in the gaps of the "evolutionary chain". I classify most of this under Science Fiction and await something like real evidence.

I believe they missed an opportunity for accuracy - should have said "humanoids" vs. "humans"...

Some of the "evolving" into dwarf or larger sizes may only reflect long term (over many generations) differences in nutrition and nothing of a genetic nature at all.
