Actually, hobbits were real and there is evidence of them living.

I can’t remember exactly the location of their existence, but they were an island people on some tiny islands off the coast of india...I think.

I remember reading that there was a “hobbit” like group out there some where.

Never did ascertain if Tolkien got the idea for “Hobbits” from that race or if the scientific community named them after Tolkien’s work...

Of course the don't live in the Shire...

I know the discovery on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003 that you are referring to. The discoverers took the work “hobbit” and applied it to a group of remains that suggest a diminutive race of human-relatives, or pre-humans. But they still aren’t Tolkien’s Hobbits, didn’t live in Hobbit Holes, didn’t have Shires, didn’t develop the custom of giving away gifts on their birthday. Didn’t develop “pipe weed”. Didn’t have to contend with the Dark Lord Sauron. (If you know what I mean.)

And so were/ are the Borg. All your base belong to us!!
Please. Hobbits? They are the creation of the genius Tolkein.

Did they have fur on the bottom of their feet?
