Hobbit's species status in question (Geotimes.org)
A few months ago a man came to my school to talk about these guys, and though I missed his lecture (people were spilling out into the foyer), I have made a hobby of following the hobbit debate.
Now it appears that the skull of the hobbit and of the human may not be so different after all.
The skull on the left, obviously of H. floriensis, may in fact be no different from the skull on the right - save for a wicked case of microencephaly. This would make the so-called hobbit nothing more than a stone-age Corky.
We'll see.
