More 'Hobbits' found

BBC: More Homo floresiensis found

Looks like they definately are a distinct species and not an example of a diseased Homo sapiens.

Great!!!
I wonder what other different species of "humans" are and were around!?? AND where did they come from??

All depends on the person

to some, the entire universe works

for others, it is limited to the biosphere

and yet to others, only to the individual species themselves

take your pick

That still doesn't explain to me where Evolution comes from.

Forty-two.

Forty-two.

Of course
I should have thought of that.

Homo floresiensis is a golden find. Island ecology has always followed certain "rules". Mammals get smaller and cold blooded reptiles get bigger. Starting with H. erectus we thought hominids were above ecology, forging their own path through their intelligence. H. floresiensis tells us this isn't the case. H. erectus had not gained the ability to totally remove itself from natural selection, or at least was not cemented in a path that could only lead to further brain enlargement.

Interesting side note. Mammals get smaller because resources are limited and being warm blooded uses up a lot of energy. Island ecology caused dinosaurs to shrink, unlike their cold blooded bretheren.

LOL, why did it go sideways?

Sorry for being behind the times, but is that the consensus now, that dinosaurs were endothermic?

There was an archaeological dig a while ago that found a race of skeleton people too.

Notice how all the evolutionists ignore this key sentence:

"Homo floresiensis represents a ... diseased individual of modern human (Homo sapiens)as some ... have suggested."

New species, or malnutrient due to living on island devoid of nutrients?

Is that a parody website?

"We now know that the skeletons we see in horror films and on Halloween are not mere products of the imagination, but actually lived on Earth."

Is that a joke? Living skeletons? You HAVE to be kidding me.

 

[Dragon02]

Of course it's a joke. Anything from The Onion should be terminated with extreme prejudice.

Depends on who you ask. I think most agree some clades were and some weren't.

While I'm posting in this thread I'd like to protest these things being called "Hobbits" by the media. It's scientific sensationalism of the worst kind and bugs me to no end. Maybe it's just because I don't like Lord of the Rings

The disease that was suggested was microcephaly, not anything nutrient related.

Malnutrition does not result in teeth having different numbers of roots, lack of a chin or the very small stature recorded in these individuals.

It's a variation of the "palaeontologists are stupid" argument, really, isn't it? They're too stupid to see the difference between a malnourished H. sapiens and a different species.

Barrel scraping, I'd say.

The microcephaly explanation was a valid hypothesis when we only had the one fossil. Now we have several, which the microcephaly hypothesis is not consisten with. This leaves us with the seperate species hypothesis.

you haven't heard of the Onion? the Onion is like the parody site, with articles such as "Dolphins evolve opposable thumb, oh sugar says humanity." and "twelve year old girl disproves evolution" with "quotes" from Dawkins saying how he overlooked the Laws of Thermodynamics.
