Maybe they were Republicans, who after all tend to be mental midgets.

even if it was one of the previously known Homos, the very recent date is pretty amazing. So now there were at least 4 dif.kinds of homo\'s living at the same time.

The logical conclusion would be humanoid dwarfism on a small island. However tracing genetic links will probibly have to be done to confirm or deny this discovery.
But it\'s still interesting shit. comment by

According to the paper in Nature, the fossils didn\'t show the signs of dwarfism or pygmyism. In those cases the skull is fully developed, whilst the rest of the body shows reduced growth. However, these chaps had tiny little heads to go with their little bodies, which I guess led to the categorisation of them as a new species.

Maybe, but maybe not. Adaptability to changes in environmental conditions is probably the most important factor driving the survival of a species. Given that people were so thinly spread out around the globe until quite recently, conflict between the species would probably be much less of a factor. However, in this case the little people appear to have been living for ages in isolation on this island, until the arrival of Homo sapiens, so you may well be right.

lot\'s of stuff here.
http://www.nature.com/news/specials/flores/index.html This is obviously important enough for Nature to give away for fre on thier website. Usually they would charge you for this type of stuff. The bastards. |
