Human Hobbit Like Race Found in Indonesia is a New Species

A new study performed by Dean Falk and colleages, of Florida State University has found that the remains of the human like hobbits found in indonesia are a completely new branch of our family tree. But the most interesting part is that tests performed on the skull of one of the creatures found that the brain was not microcephalic, but was advanced differently than the brain of humans. The brain of the creatures was smaller, but it was rewired and reorganized in a way that made it highly evolved.



This latest find is really interesting. A hobbit like creature which existed and had a normal, a bit smaller, but highly evolved intellect, and it was a completly different branch of our family tree.

Interesting to say the least. If this species has gone unnoticed for so long, how many others could exist out there? What about the oral traditions of native Americans which speak of "little people" living under the Earth in caves? The same story is found in nearly every continent.
Is it possible these "oral traditions and myths" are actually based on truth? To me it appears to be a real possibility, what do you all think?

I have also heard about this, and seen a couple of stories about workers working undeground hearing things, and myths about creatures living under earth.

Also I have heard about this from Islam, they are supposed to come up one day and make problems.

It all seems very possible, I mean think about how big space there is down there.

Looks like earth is about to change into Middle-Earth.

All we need now is orcs, elves, and walking trees getting P-O about global warming.
