    H. floresiensis me fascina muito. Parece que não dominava o fogo, mas permanece a capacidade de produzir/usar ferramentas pra cortar carne, o que continua fantástico!
    E caminhava mais semelhante a nós do que ao H. erectus. É toda uma humanidade, que teve sua própria história, e então feneceu.

  3. Fossils Shed New Light on Small ‘Hobbit-Like’ Humans That Lived on a Remote Island

    Two teeth and a small adult arm bone found in Indonesia suggest the ancestors of #Homo #floresiensis were even shorter than scientists previously thought

    Until some 60,000 years ago, petite early humans
    standing just over three feet tall
    lived on Flores Island in what is now Indonesia.

    These individuals
    —called Homo floresiensis and nicknamed the “#hobbits” after J.R.R. Tolkien’s small Middle-earth inhabitants
    —were shorter than today’s average human 4-year-old.

    Many questions about the diminutive species remain unanswered, but now, newly examined fossils
    —including the smallest adult human arm bone in the fossil record
    —are helping scientists unravel the mysterious origins of H. floresiensis.

    Some of the hobbits’ ancestors may have been even shorter than thought, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.

  5. Funny to watch how this quackery about #Neanderthal genes is replacing old #Racism.Humans hybridized because local populations had acquired advantages for living in their places along many time compared to newcomers
    -those called modern humans, I don't who they were- who were possibly small populations. That's why there are only hybrids now.
    In the next few years, someone will make a lot of money saying how many #Neanderthal or #Denisovan or #Floresiensis garbage-genes you have in your genome.

  7. CW: unfiltered but probably okay

    @offby1

    #Neanderthals, #Denisovans, Homo #floresiensis (AKA South Pacific #Hobbits), or one of those other near-human species perhaps?

    Except of course, humans mated with at least a few members of the first two groups, so now my imagination is drifting into #SciFi territory and considering the #Greys.
