Not so fast. Here is a photo of the skull this new find, alongside a modern human skull. I've also posted a photo of a chimpanzee skull. Even a grade school kid can see that this small person is a hominid:

Ever hear of the "Orang Pendak"? From the description it sounds like these creatures. Even the location is right.

I will concede that the skull does look like a hominid (although they may look quite different if viewed from the side). However, it is the whole "questioning what makes us human" remark that irks me. Pygmys, dwarves etc are short tool using hominids. Even if he discovered an ancient tribe of dwarves, it doesn't bring the nature of humanity into question.

I would give my eye teeth to have one week alone with these skulls for comparison measurements.
