Neat-o

Could these be my ancestors? Scientists Find Prehistoric Dwarf Skeleton:

This hobbit-sized creature appears to have lived as recently as 18,000 years ago on the island of Flores, a kind of tropical Lost World populated by giant lizards and miniature elephants.
(Incidentally, and unrelated, wine with lunch is a bad idea if you expect to get any work done.)

damn, yo, that's like the coolest. imagine, if you were a homo sapiens, who just happened to float over to flores on a log one day, all these little hairy people would probably worship you and give you their fruit and lizard steak. awesome!
