Holy crap.
There’s a new hominid on the family tree — a tool-making, raft-building species that stood three feet tall!
They lived on the islands of Indonesia as recently as 18,000 years ago, which makes them contemporaries of Homo sapiens. Only these little guys were probably descended from Homo erectus.
The media’s calling them hobbits.
How about that?
