“These people, known as Homo erectus, had become stranded on the island and then had shrunk in an evolutionary response to the island's limited resources... “

Another just so story.

These primitive hominids somehow travelled half a world from their probable birthplace in the Rift Valley to make their homes among the orangutans, giant turtles and rare birds of Indonesia before eventually reaching Flores

I'm not buying it. It's remotely possible but I've never accepted the "out of Africa" theory as the total answer to hominid evolution. I have a hunch someday evidence will be found for parallel evolution in Asia.
