Tiny Humans update #5 -- hobbit hair found in cave?
The Age: "The discovery of hair in the Indonesian cave in which a new species of hobbit-sized humans was found has raised Australian scientists' hopes of obtaining their DNA. "If it's hobbit hair, we will be screaming with delight," said Bert Roberts, a member of the Australian-Indonesian team that surprised the world on Wednesday with its discovery that the previously unknown human cousins barely a metre tall had survived until at least 13,000 years ago on the island of Flores."
