So in the gene pool they ended up in the shallow end. I guess they came up short.

They really need to start doing some genetic studies before declaring every find they have as “new species.” If they found Africa’s modern-day pygmies in a ditch somewhere, they’d declare them a new species too.

Mysterious new dwarf human species probed...

Why would they probe the poor little guy?

Wouldn't that just make him angry?

Piltdown’s dwarf brother... Pigmeee Jack... I thought he moved to England. Is he the guy who ate deep fried fossils?

Considering the ability to get food at that time, 4’9” tall is actually pretty good. Go look at pictures of the people of the orient from about 150 years ago. Someone that was 4’9” would be just one of the crowd.

Scientists have discovered a skull belonging to a previously unknown species of human from three million years ago.

This species is not "unknown". There is one living in California at this time:

There are people-called pygmies-in Africa that look about that size, and there are NBA-player-height Watusi tribesmen in the same country today-so it stands to reason they were around when taller hominids were, back then, too. I know a couple of people under 4’ 11”, but they are both women and of Irish ancestry...

Are these scientist so clueless as to dismiss the random appearance of occasional freaks among the normal contemporary "human" population?

I am not an anthropologist, but common sense tells me that a single skull cannot define a "new species."

I will invoke the Mark Twain "Rule" :

Such large returns of conjecture, from such modest invesment in fact...

I’ve always thought Danny Devito was a missing link to something vaguely humanoid.

Actually they are the ancestors of Irish leprechauns. Interbreeding was attempted later on as one lass remarked after being caught trysting with one: “I think I`ve got a little Irish in me!”
Happy St. Patrick`s Day!

A direct descendant of the dwarf sits in the oval orifice.
