After all of...Yeah, score one for the Flores find! After all of the press about the Palau find diminishing the uniqueness of the Flores find this is good news. As for the Palau skeletons, as Dr. Junger from SUNY Stony Brook said, this is “is really much ado about nothing.”<BR/>I guess the fact that none of the bones found match the hobbits really doesn’t matter. After all, the frontal cranium looks almost as high as a human’s but hey Dr. Berger says they are the same species as the hobbit. Damn, can’t we complete a dig before we report the findings nowadays? <BR/><BR/>Of course, I have a vested interest in this discovery, having written a speculative fiction novel called Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot on the recent fossil find. If you are interested, there is more on this ongoing controversy about Homo floresiensis at www.floresgirl.com or catch the free Flores Girl podcast at Podiobooks.com.<BR/><BR/>Erik John BertelErik John Bertelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606065764713105391noreply@blogger.com
