New "Hobbit" Bones Found

The Australian and Indonesian scientists who last year reported discovering a diminutive species of human, Homo floresiensis, have found additional remains. Working in Flores' Liang Bua cave, they have uncovered bones from the right arm of the previously discovered female designated LB1. They also found a lower jaw bone not matching any of the individuals already known. The H. floresiensis remains, believed to be 18,000 years old, remain the subject of controversy, with some scientists doubting their identity as a separate species.
