Scientists Find Prehistoric Dwarf Skeleton





"In an astonishing discovery that could rewrite the history of human evolution, scientists say they have found the skeleton of a new human species, a dwarf, marooned for eons in a tropical Lost World while modern man rapidly colonized the rest of the planet."

This is explosive. Essentially, we've shared the planet with what might as well, at this point, be termed "aliens." (I like the word better than "hobbits," personally.)

Weird thought for the day: What if Homo floresiensis is the tip of an anthropological iceberg? Imagine a long-forgotten technological civilization of these creatures: Might it account for the persistent worldwide folklore of "little people" -- and maybe even modern-day extraterrestrials?

Homo floresiensis is described as three feet-tall; so are a lot of "ufonauts," especially the "Grays" of abduction fame. Any connection? I doubt it. But . . .
