Viggen Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 A fossil of a diminutive human nicknamed "the Hobbit" does indeed represent a previously unrecognised species of early Man, according to a new technique that suggests it was a cultured little fellow. Sceptics had argued that the Hobbit, discovered in Indonesia and first announced last year, could have been an individual who suffered from microcephalya, a disorder that limits brain growth. full article at The Telegraph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator Marzullius Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Very interesting! Yes, there was other species of man. But I think they either died out naturally, or we just killed eachother. Either way, we're the winners! I remember watching the history channel about the evolution of man and watching as the neanderthals and us first came in contact. It was pretty cool. But I think it was quite violent... If different clans of the same species were killing eachother, it's hard to believe two different species of humans would get along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
