Abstract

Martin et al. claim that they have two endocasts from microcephalics that appear similar to that of LB1, 'Homo floresiensis'. However, the line drawings they present as evidence lack details about the transverse sinuses, cerebellum, and cerebral poles. Comparative measurements, actual photographs, and sketches that identify key features are needed to draw meaningful conclusions about Martin et al.'s assertions.
