New Hominid Species Discovered Posted by Duncan Bayne on 10/27/2004, 2:11pm | ||
This is amazing - as little as 12,000 years or so ago (and maybe, if you believe the locals, as little as 500 years ago), humans and a separate species of tiny hominid (adults grew to three feet tall) were living side by side in Indonesia ... "ABC News is reporting that anthropologists have found the skeletal remains of seven hobbit sized hominids. The population may have been wiped out by a volcanic activity 12000 years ago or according to local legend may have lived up until the 1500's living on in caves and eating food the villagers would leave out for them. Also found were bones of giant lizards and miniature elephants. CBS also has the story." | ||
