I doubt there are any left, but no matter who these creatures were we clearly have a lot to learn about human evolution.

I would have to reread it, but Morwood wrote a book about his discovery of the Hobbit and the politics involved with idiots like Jacob and the Indonesian science scene, and in it, I'm sure he mentioned morphological traits in the shouldersand legs that suggested while bipedal, the Hobbit was very adept at tree climbing having some very old characteristics. Perhaps she was Australopithecine. After all, if Dryopithecus made it to southeast Asia when it did, why not another ape?

I think the Flores people are descendants of the Dmanisi people. Maybe there's a long evolutionary line there...

Thank you. Very interesting. Maybe they're still out there!

My best guess was that Homo Floresiensis was a decendant of Homo Erectus.. this documentary has given me more to think about.. thanks for uploading.
