[asa] More on Hobbit fossil

Some food for thought.
Jack Haas

Compelling evidence demonstrates that 'Hobbit' fossil does not represent
a new species of hominid

What may be the definitive most interdisciplinary work in a debate that
has been raging in palaeoanthropology for two years will be published in
Anatomical Record. The new research comprehensively and convincingly
makes the case that the skull discovered in Flores, Indonesia, in 2003
does not represent a new species of hominid, as was claimed in a 2004
Nature study. The skull is most likely that of a small-bodied modern
human who suffered from microcephaly.
