Para quem já viu o Senhor dos Aneis, veja isto!

Após ser descoberto pelos cientistas, a duvida mantem se: será o esqueleto descoberto de uma mulher deformada, ou de uma nova especie animal, "os Hobbits"(Foto em cima)?
Bom, aqui vai um texto sobre a discurção e um link para quem quiser tem mais conhecimentos sobre o assunto...

When her miniature skull and tiny skeleton were revealed publicly for the first time in 2004, scientists expressed their amazement that such a small species of human could have existed on the island of Flores in Indonesia.

She became known as "the hobbit", standing just over 3ft tall with a brain the size of a grapefruit, about a third of the average brain volume of modern humans. It seemed that the last of her species, Homo floresiensis, died out not long after she lived around 18,000 years ago.

But within weeks of her discovery being announced in the pages of the journal Nature, other scientists began to voice doubts over whether she did indeed belong to a new species. The sole female "hobbit", they said, was probably a woman with an unfortunate congenital pathology known as microcephaly, when the body and brain do not grow to their full size.

After years of claims and counter-claims about the miniature person, whose remains were found buried deep in the sediment of a cave on Flores, scientists have now produced further evidence that she did indeed belong to a separate species of man, quite different to either the living Homo sapiens or any of the extinct members of the human family.
