Tiny Human Ancestor Found in Asia
Yow! This is the best thing I've read all year. National Geographic reports that "Scientists have found fossil skeletons of a hobbit-like species of human that grew no larger than a three-year-old modern child. The tiny humans, who had skulls about the size of grapefruits, lived with pygmy elephants and Komodo dragons on a remote island in Indonesia as recently as 13,000 years ago." Link (Thanks, Dave!)
