Hobbit was smart, and separate species


Another new species of human! When will scientists admit the presence of hundreds of parallel species indicates mutations from a common external event?

In a study of the shape and contours of its tiny braincase, the 18,000-year-old adult female, who was barely 3ft tall, was found to have anatomical attributes suggesting a capacity for higher thinking processes, a significant memory bank and ability to plan. Not bad for a species with a brain one-third the size of that of a contemporary human.

...The brain study further seemed to confirm earlier conclusions that these people belonged to a separate human species, designated Homo floresiensis, that may be closely related to Homo erectus, the predecessor species of modern Homo sapiens.
