Hobbits seem to be found!!

Flores, Indonesia. September, 2003. a group of anthropologist (and scientists alike) founded what it seemed to be a tiny specie of hominid.  The study of the bones showed that they where similar to australopitecus and chimpanzees, but very different to actual human bones.

Despite morphological comparation might be usefull talking about close relationed species, DNA tests are necessary, but really hard to get in this case due to the tropical climate of the island. Actually, the bones have to be dried while they lay right where they were found, before being taken to the lab, becouse they have the consistency of “wet blotting paper”. Can you imagine?. Soil contamination is also another problem for the exams to be taken and show correct ressults.

How did those pygmies arrived to the island is a mistery, dough there are a couple theories like that they came by water vessel and even being average human sized. And they shrinked in size due to limited resources and a extreme tropical weather.

Due to the difficulties of prooving the DNA structure of this spiece, we might never know the origin of “the Hobbit”, but nobody can doubt that it is one of the greates discoveries on the anthropological fiel of our times.
