This still leaves the question of how H. erectus reached Flores, which was never connected to mainland Southeast Asia. The paper describing the new fossils proposes they got there "Probably unintentionally (ie through accidental 'rafting', perhaps on tsunami debris)." Van den Bergh notes tsunamis are common in the highly volcanic Indonesian islands and points to examples of people surviving at sea for a long time while clinging to branches afterwards.
Landlubber nonsense. They got there with watercraft.

When my kids were in kindergarten and first grade, we owned a hobbit. Cute little guinea pig they named Henrietta Hobbit. Excellent pet for kids who lived in an apartment.

Maybe that’s a guinea pig bone.

"Landlubber nonsense. They got there with watercraft."

I totally agree. In a sparsely populated world with no real roads boats are how everything was moved.

I’m not sure how there can be much of a mystery given that the region has modern populations of pygmy peoples.

Yes, they were domesticated farm animals, and still are, when the Spanish came to the New World...............
