Indonesia Teeming with Hobbits

It sounds too incredible to be true, but this is not a hoax. A species of tiny
human has been discovered, which lived on the remote Indonesian island of Flores
just 18,000 years ago.

Researchers have so far unearthed remains from eight individuals who were just
one metre tall, with grapefruit-sized skulls. These astonishing little people,
nicknamed ‘hobbits’, made tools, hunted tiny elephants and lived at the same
time as modern humans who were colonizing the area.
