Hobbits to Humans

Okay, so here is the basic rundown of this story. Researchers from Stony Brook University Medical Center in New York have confirmed that Homo floresiensis is a genuine ancient human species and not a descendant of healthy humans dwarfed by disease.Using statistical analysis on skeletal remains of a well-preserved female specimen, researchers determined the "hobbit" to be a distinct species and not a genetically flawed version of modern humans. Scientists discovered small human-like fossils in Indonesia. These bones were more primitive looking and did not match up to modern human bone structures.When fully placed together it is suggested that these primitive humans grew to be about 3 ft 6 ins. Dr. Baab notes, "Attempts to dismiss the hobbits as pathological people have failed repeatedly because the medical diagnoses of dwarfing syndromes and microcephaly bear no resemblance to the unique anatomy of Homo floresiensis,".
