Scientists digging in a remote Indonesian cave have uncovered a jawbone that they say adds more evidence that a tiny prehistoric Hobbit-like species once existed.
The jaw is from the ninth individual believed to have lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. The bones are in a wet cave on the island of Flores in the eastern limb of the Indonesian archipelago, near Australia.
So... will they find the bones of Elrond and Arilynn next?

ahh... but did they find "The One Ring?"
I highly doubt that the world was lit up by Crystals that resided in North America, that Germany was a wasteland controlled by an even dark Lord who crafted manipulative talking rings, and that man could have carved out a rock from the mountainside in marble stone.
However, Europe was (in medieval ages) known as the 'middle earth', so in context, yes, yes it did.
Lord of the Rings style? I doubt it.

No it didn't. And those "hobbit" remains will probably turn out to be a sick archaic human.

:rolleyes: Okay, you don't really read well, do you. This is ANOTHER "hobbit" discovery in the same area, which lends credence to the possibility that this is another species of close cousins.

Although it would be cool to have Smaug's skull for my living room. (No, not in my living room, for my living room! :D)

Critics say they have many lingering questions about the Flores discoveries.
“This paper doesn’t clinch it. I feel strongly that people are glossing over the problems with this interpretation,” said Robert Martin, a biological anthropologist and provost of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
In Martin’s view, the more likely scenario is that the specimens belonged to an extended family of modern humans, some of whom suffered from microencephaly, which often runs in families.
