Have you heard of the human species being coined the Hobbit?

Question

I asked a Q's and then gave a little tutorial as I ussually do, this bothers people for some reason. I'm somewhat at a loss as to why I hear its to long and there are mistake's, I would like to think that its ussually a good read, but I might be a little to enambered with myself. Anyway it's been my experience that christians are'nt on the same page when it comes to evolution, and I'm used to that. But when I mentioned missing links such as Erectus,Habilus,Lucy,Goliath, and other humans such as Neandethal and the Hobbits the evolution crowd indicated I might be full of it. Well, unless I'm going to believe in the whole Satan is in those scientists and there lying, (crowd) I have on good authority, that scientists discovered a human species on th Island of Flores in Indonesia.They are decendants of Erectus, who then were isolated on the island and dwarfism set in, they evolved to half the size of Erectus. I throw this Q's here for obvious reason's. Have you heard about them,(plural)?

Answer 1

yes, they did discover a "smaller" race they refer to as "hobbits. They stood about 1 meter tall, and their heads were the size of grapefruits. the puzzling piece is they are located next (an island away) to regular homo erectus finds. Scientist are still working on DNA testing to see if the "hobbits" are a descendant to the other older "erectus" finds.. Its crazy we keep finding things that change the way scientist think. This website has a lot of links on most of what you referred to.

Answer 2

Homo floresiensis (I've seen other spellings).
They're not a missing link. The time scale in which they were extant suggests they're an offshoot from pygmy Homo sapiens, and not from an earlier primate (e.g. erectus).

Answer 3

Damn Frodo and Sam
