uh... Hobbits maybe? (the are fake, you know)
Hobbits are a subset of the race of Men, from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, sometimes considered a separate race. They first appear in the book The Hobbit, and also play a major role in The Lord of the Rings.
Hobbits are between two to four feet tall, the average height being three feet six inches. They tend towards stoutness and have slightly pointed ears.[1]. Their feet are furry, with leathery soles; most Hobbits never wear shoes. It is a common misconception that Hobbits have oversized feet (helped by the recent films), but they are in fact normal in size for their height. They are fond of an unadventurous bucolic life of farming, eating, and socializing. Living rather longer than humans, Hobbits can sometimes live for up to 130 years (with 100 years average). The time at which a young Hobbit "comes of age" is 33, as compared to the human 21 years. Thus a seventy-year-old Hobbit would only be middle-aged. Hobbits also like to drink ale, often in inns, not unlike the English countryfolk, who were Tolkien's inspiration; Hobbits also enjoy tobacco (sometimes refered to as weed, not to be confused with marijuana, something that can be attributed mostly to their love of gardening and herb-lore). We can also see that in the name Tolkien chose for the part of Middle-earth where the Hobbits live: "The Shire" is clearly reminiscent of the English county names (e.g., Lancashire, Shropshire — see English Shire).
Hobbits enjoy at least seven meals a day when they can get them. Mealtimes mentioned by Tolkien include breakfast, second breakfast.[2], elevenses, lunch, Noon tea, dinner, and supper.

Are you talking about the "Hobbit" or, rather, very tiny fossil bones they found on the island of Flores? Supposedly they were from a very small human being dating from around 18,000 years ago. I think there's still some controversy over what they actually are. Check out this site.....

I think you may have heard/read about the 'little' skeletons they found that reminded the researchers of hobbits...however, after further testing and investigation, these were hominoids...not a separate species. And, definitely NOT apes!
