I agree this scientist’s theory is flawed to say the least, but I think I read in the Scientific American article that Hennerberg had requested direct access to the Flores material, and he was denied of it; so that’s why he based his “research” on second-hand material. The biggest problem is that he jumped to a hasty conclusion without being 100% sure, for reasons we can only guess.

Skeptics motto…” Don’t confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up!”

In this situation the skeptics claim is unsupported by the known facts, but a well known fact to consider is that controversy sells books.

Listen, the lunacy of some guy’s uninformed claims aside, who’s to say homo floresiensis didn’t do dental work? If ancient South Americans performed mildly effective brain surgery on each other, then why can’t hobbits do dental work?

I’m just saying, yo.
