Gee whiz, there were "little men" all over the place along the Western coasts of Europe who were "encountered" by larger, taller people moving in from further East.

Our folktales are filled with the news.

For the most part, however, the remaining skeletons reveal them to be essentially the same as the folks known as the Kung!. It would appear they had a far larger range in the past than they do these days in Southern Africa.

No reason this little guy couldn't look wise.

I follow the news pretty closely and evolution theory is pretty flexible, able to withstand any and all data to the contrary.

Exactly, which is why we take all such with a grain of salt.

Did it have a tail?

[shekkian]

Yeah, okay... I guess today's midgets are this chick's descendants.

Scratched on the cave walls were the words: THE PLANE! THE PLANE!!

Back in those time, a popular Song was:

"You're getting to be a hobit with me."

"rewrite the history of human evolution"
I'm confused. I thought "science" had already figured this out, that evolution was a "fact". How can facts change? I guess I'm just too dumb to figure this out.

A 3-foot-tall adult female skeleton found in a cave on a remote Indonesian island is believed 18,000 years old

Did she have a flat head?

FWIW it's Hobbit.

I am always amused at the way these headlines consistantly state something as a fact, "Proof of evolution, ..." and then when you read the same articles they use terms like, "is believed to be.." and "may have.."

I almost never read the evolution threads posted here at FR because so many of the posters ignore what the articles actually say and jump to the conclusions of the headlines and the writer's personal opinion.

If the evidence they produce was submitted in court, and they were never able to revise their "evidence" everytime they are proven false, it would be laughed at as the pile of assumptions and hypotheses they are.

You know, everytime I see one of those artists renditions of what the 'so-called' caveman or missing link which they somehow are miraculously able to create from their vast imaginations using probably a small fraction of fossils(an amazingly the depiction always looks like a monkey), It just reminds me how big a crock evolution is.

From Creation-Evolution Headlines:

Any evolutionists thinking they have an “Aha!” case of a missing-link fossil to discredit creationists have a slippery object to try to hang onto. If brain size does not correlate with intelligence, then a century and a half of human-evolution storytelling goes down the drain. Fine measurements of skull capacity were a staple of human phylogenetic studies; some, like Paul Broca (now considered a racist), made a career out of it. It should have been obvious that even modern human “small people” like Tom Thumb could be smarter than local fatheads. And didn’t we learn that birds, with much smaller brains, outwit chimpanzees? (see 02/01/2005 entry).

If hobbitkind were degenerate modern humankind, there is no evolution story to tell. But if they evolved smart brains independently, in parallel with other upwardly-mobile hominids, then human evolution has been falsified twice (see 12/30/2004 entry). Take your pick, Darwin Party. If indeed “this goes to the heart of our understanding of human evolution,” it whacks it with a sharp stone tool.
