besides I do believe the natives said that they were hairy. I also believe I heard them say that their ancestors were a little frightened of the hobbit people and thought that they were not quite human, more like monkeys. I could be wrong, it has been a little while since I first heard the news reports.

Go to a Rainbow Gathering, you will see MUCH hairier women than this there.

I think the pointy ears are fine; and now that I look again the hairiness is not scariness, either. I think it may just be the shock of seeing something that is decidedly different that invoked my response. It’s actually quite good.

I also wonder about the hairiness factor because most modern polynesians have far less body hair than other ethnicities. Also, why the pointy ears?

1. The small mummy isn’t a fossil. It is also recognizable as “homo sapiens”.

2. Where is all the hair on my lovely Hobbit? I drew some on the top of the arms only because that is where most of us have some to this very day! I draw lots of humans. Trust me on this.

3. Of course she is cute! DUH! Would you mate with an uncute hobbit? Sheesh. Give them credit.

The reddish skin color is due to the idea that homo erectus and their later members, homo habilis, etc. if they lived for 200,000+ years in the deeper jungles would tend towards the color red, not pale white.

White people are from a distinctive recessive gene that popped up during the last ice age. That mummy is post-ice age, too, by the way. Ahem.

Addendum: For those interested in the Ferris Mountains or the mummy found there, Google search “The Pedro Mountain Mummy”.

Thanx….

Why does every species or subspecies related to any hominid have to be so hairy? Could these have not been smooth-skinned individuals?

I live 30 miles from the Ferris mountains where the legendary mummy of the little 3ft man was found a few decades ago. I’ve seen pictures of the mummy. It appears that IT was fair-skinned and not hairy. Perhaps these Hobbit persons were, too. I gleen from the drawing that the presumption is that these were hairy hobbits.
