Small Brain Did Not Stop Hobbit Having Big Ideas

A fossil of a diminutive human nicknamed "the Hobbit" does indeed represent a previously unrecognised species of early Man, according to a new technique that suggests it was a cultured little fellow.

 

Sceptics had argued that the Hobbit, discovered in Indonesia and first announced last year, could have been an individual who suffered from microcephalya, a disorder that limits brain growth.

Very interesting! Yes, there was other species of man. But I think they either died out naturally, or we just killed eachother. Either way, we're the winners! I remember watching the history channel about the evolution of man and watching as the neanderthals and us first came in contact. It was pretty cool. But I think it was quite violent... If different clans of the same species were killing eachother, it's hard to believe two different species of humans would get along.
