New Hobbit Evidence

BBC:

Scientists are to present new evidence that the tiny human species dubbed “The Hobbit” may not be what it seems.

The researchers say their findings strongly support an idea that the 1m- (3ft-) tall female skeleton from Indonesia is a diseased modern human.

Their claims have been aired in a BBC Horizon programme screened on Thursday.

The Hobbit’s discoverers are adamant it is an entirely separate human species, which evolved a small size in isolation on its remote island home of Flores.
