I found a little hominid once rummaging thru the garbage can in the backyard so I took a big stick and beat the crap out of it until it was good and dead. Why? Just because I could.

Remains of large tools have been found

Little villages of little people with large tools. Some of the amazing things we know.

Perhaps there were lots of "short experiments" -- species that never really quite made it, Potts said.

The Designer was practicing. Or Satan placed it there to trick us. ;) /sarcasm

From the single molar found on the site is was also determined that the golden colored hominid lived in groups of 5 to 10. They averaged a height of 5 to 8 inches. Sang lots of popular songs. They traveled only at night in pairs. These tiny people supplemented their income by posing for trophies.

I saw a shrunken head and torso at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum in San Francisco when I was there last week. It was pretty tiny - hard to believe it was once a full sized human!

How do they know it wasn't some ancient tribal "shrinking" ritual?

Maybe it's a leprechaun that was on travel to Africa at the time of its untimely death...

Makes more sense than a failed evolutionary experiment, IMO!

Must have been an escapee from the ancient lab there Louis Farrahkhan talks about where the black scientists invented white people.

... a "short experiment" in evolution that never quite made it, scientists said on Thursday.

Is that the same as a DU'er?

He or she died on a volcanic ridge

So Gollum survived and climbed out of the volcano?
