Hobbit ancestor
A paper in the journal Science offers new information about the early hominid species Homo floresiensis, which was discovered in Indonesia more than a decade ago. Fossils estimated to be 700,000 years old helped scientists confirm Homo floresiensis as a separate species, The Economist reported. Due to its small size, scientists have nicknamed the species our “hobbit” ancestors.
