Scientists Find Prehistoric Dwarf Skeleton [Oct 27] http://216.180.244.91/news/ In a breathtaking discovery, scientists
working on a remote Indonesian island say they have uncovered the bones of a human dwarf species marooned for eons
while modern man rapidly colonized the rest of the planet. One tiny specimen, an adult female measuring about 3 feet
tall, is described as "the most extreme" figure to be included in the extended human family. Certainly, she is the shortest.
This hobbit-sized creature appears to have lived as recently as 18,000 years ago on the island of Flores, a kind of tropical
Lost World populated by giant lizards and miniature elephants. Evidence suggests Flores Man made stone tools, lit fires
and organized group hunts for meat. Near the skeleton were stone tools and animal remains, including teeth from a
young stegodon, or prehistoric dwarf elephant, as well as fish, birds and rodents. Some of the bones were charred,
suggesting they were cooked. [and from another source] Indonesian Man in the pure form also died out. The Australian
Aborigines also can point to Indonesian Man for a large portion of their genetic heritage. Indonesian Man was short and
stocky, with a rounded belly. He had a dominant forehead which protruded out over his eye sockets, giving him the
natural equivalent of shades. He was not swift, but moved in a ponderous manner, and thus his demise. [Note: from ZetaTalk: ZetaTalk:
