Hobbit Fossil Found

I THINK this is science ..

I found this interesting. I know that giants were real and that
fossils of them have been found. But this is the first that I have
seen information on a small race of people. Sure wish there was
more info on this in the news .... both about the 'hobbits' and the
giants.

'Hobbit' Brain Supports Species Theory

By JOSEPH B. VERRENGIA, AP Science Writer

Scientists working with powerful imaging computers say the
spectacular "Hobbit" fossil recently discovered in Indonesia had
distinctive brain features that could justify its classification as a
separate — and tiny — human ancestor.

The new report, published Thursday in the online journal Science
Express, seems to support the idea of a sophisticated human
dwarf species marooned for eons while modern man proliferated.

The scientists said the model shows that the 3-foot specimen,
nicknamed Hobbit, had a brain unlike anything they had seen
before in the human lineage. The brain is chimplike in size,
about 417 cubic centimeters.
