More bones of hobbit-sized humans discovered





Australian scientists said on Tuesday they have discovered more remains of hobbit-sized humans which belong to a previously unknown species that lived at the end of the last Ice Age.

Professor Mike Morwood, of the University of New England, in Armidale, Australia, stunned the science world last year when he and his team announced the discovery of 18,000-year-old remains of a new human species called Homo floresiensis.

Could Homo floresiensis be alive and well . . . ?

A nightmare for international law as well as moral pundits. What if their intellect floats somewhere between a chimps and a modern man? Do you give them a protected park or their own nation?

A living example of these.... people would try theologians even more. Where do these 'hobbits' fit in in the story of Adam and Eve? It would be a very fun debate to watch.
