Homo Floresiensis

A recently discovered—first published in 2004—species of the phylogenetic tribe Homini—which comprises Homo sapiens and two species of chimpanzees—found on the island of Flores in Indonesia. Researchers unearthed remains from 8 individuals measuring ±1 meter tall and having grapefruit-sized skulls. The remains were carbon dated as having lived 18,000 years ago. Despite controversy surrounding the discovery, cladistic analysis supports the assertion that H floresiensis is a species a sui generis

No references found			This discovery of a new human species called Homo floresiensis has spawned much debate with some researchers claiming that the small creatures are really modern humans whose tiny head and brain are the result of a medical condition called microcephaly. 'Hobbit' a genuine ancient human species, say scientists by Asian News International Anthropologist Dr Karen Baab said: "Dwarfing syndromes and microcephaly bear no resemblance to the unique anatomy of Homo Floresiensis. Hobbits weren't humans; TINY MEN A SUB-SPECIES by The Mirror (London, England) Anthropologists have argued, sometimes bitterly, since the discovery of Homo floresiensis -- dubbed "the hobbit" due to its size -- as to the identity and origins of these distant cave-dwelling cousins.
