I wonder if this case will have an effect on the discussions about the capabilities of the small brained ‘Hobbits.’?

Feuillet and his colleagues describe the case of this patient in The Lancet. He is a married father of two children, and works as a civil servant.

Too easy...

"works as a civil servant."

I’m more concerned with what this says about us with supposedly normal size brains.

I read about this guy a while back. Doesn’t he also have like a Masters in Math or something?

Truly remarkable. But look at some of the things they’re finding out about African Grays. And they’d think having a brain the size of a walnut would be a big step up!

There is no scale, but it looks like the brain case is of about normal size. Its only the brain in this individual that is smaller.
