NOVA | Be Kind to a Hobbit | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/hobbit/ An ancient legend on the Indonesian island of Flores tells of an elf-like creature similar to the fictional hobbit of novels and film. But a controversial 2003 archeological find not only suggests that there could be some truth behind the legend but promises to rewrite a key chapter in the human evolutionary story. NOVA investigates the discovery, analysis, and startling implications of the hobbit of Flores, on Alien From Earth, premiering Tuesday, November 11 at 8pm ET/PT on PBS (check local listings).

We talk about Dwarves and Hobbits, but when are we going to start discussing the Elves?

[sirhung]

What? Can you rephrase that?

please dont act like u know anything

[greenpalaka]

WTF?

[sirhung]

There's been many archeologists who discovered small child like skeletons either buried or in caves in remote areas of the world. I don't know why they treat this as if it's a phenomenon. Dwarves are living correlations to their kind.

If I knew a Hobbit, I'd certainly hug him.

All creatures, great and small, make up this planet. That one is smaller does not make him less worthy.
