Abstract

Morwood et al discuss the discovery of the fossilised skeletal remains of what scientists nicknamed as the hobbits. Scientists believe that the skull represents a new human species called the Homo floresiensis, which were found in a cave on Flores. The species existed alongside modern humans as recently as 13,000 years ago, yet may descend from Homo erectus, which arose some two million years ago.
