Hmmm… My plantation workers from Flores told me tales about these beings long before the scientists discovered them. One of my workers even had an unpleasant face to face encounter with one of these beings

Seems like scientists would do well to go to native tribes all over the world to see what the latter have to tell them.

It vindicates our ancestors who have been telling the truth all along, and their truth has become OUR mythology…which is unnerving.

I for one am glad that the “microcephalic” argument is being rebutted again.

that top face is rather “goblin-esque” isn’t it?

So, small stature and a weak chin makes them a separate species? I’m quite tired right now so I might have missed it, but have they said anything about intelligence? The way I’ve heard the native humans talk these hobbits weren’t acting very human. Maybe a very intelligent monkey? I dunno. I have troubles judging others by the bone structure. It still makes me wonder thoughm, if there is a connection between them and the legendary dwarves from fairie tales.

maybe it’s the moustache on the NG image of the hobbit guy, but it reminds me a great deal of the Menehune in your “Field Guide to Bigfoot and other mystery primates”.
