More Darwinian smoke being blown up the ass. Trying to create a new falsehood to the drones.

You have refutation of the evidence? Produce it, please.

Darwininian? Sure.
All the rest? Not so much.

The original evidence suggests ancient pre-humans, aka: "hominins," circa 100,000 years old.
Not our direct ancestors, but potential distant cousins.
As I understand, attempts at extracting their ancient DNA have proved unsuccessful, so much uncertainty remains.

The new evidence, found some 45 miles away from the original site, looks much older, circa 700,000 years, which would make those some form of homo erectus, possibly ancestors to "hobbits".

So, yes, there's plenty of uncertainty, but no "smoke" being blown, ahem, anywhere.

Thanks to blam for link to a great short summary:

Archaeologists made a groundbreaking discovery that unveils the mysterious origins of real-life hobbits
