PIECE UNEARTHED,

CAN IT BE?

I find it perplexing that here in the 21st Century we are still arguing bout the implications of a tiny Human Being. A storm of controversy persists over the very meaning of our existance.



How could one little person create such a big fuss?

Who this child sized person was, may hold the key to the eternal question..

how did we get here?

At the centre of it all is Homo_floresiensis , a three foot tall premodern Hominid equipped with a minisucle 400cc Brain that may have outlasted the Neaderthals.

Carbon dating places this being as having lived alongside of us as recently as 12,000 years ago..our nearest relatives, the Neanderthals disappeared around 24,000 years ago.

Paleontologists argue whether this so-called Hobbit was a microcephalic modern human or a fire using-tool making prototype that somehow outlasted their best before date.

The paltry brain power of this individual is equal to that of the infamous Lucy who nervously scampered around the African portion of Savannistan some 3 Million years ago. 400 cc Hominids did not make tools?

Personally I am siding with the Scientists who are convinced that she was not microcephalic and that evidence in the shape of the carpals suggests that she had possessed excellent finger-thumb manipulation capabilities..

the carpals of apes are far superior for transferring weight, throwing poo, and hanging, but limits their finesse.




Since the bone structure resembles that of an early hominin or chimpanzee,
"this adds support to the idea of the Hobbit being a separate species of early human rather than a modern human with a physical disorder."

There were other creatures on these Islands that shrunk to accomodate their environment, including Elephants, so why not Humans?

Everything shrunk on these islands except for the KOMODO DRAGONS ?

A few thousand years ago you could have found a true Flinstonian scenario of Dinosaur-like creatures co-existing alongside tiny humans...

and no doubt eating them.



Creation Scientists, who are advocates of the young Earth theory, should take solace that this is as close as they are going to get to having a Jurassic Park type setting where these two species, separated by millions of years, were sharing the same environment.

So this year my Christmas Wish is that we all stop fussing and fighting about this piece unearthed and have Peace On Earth.

Isn't it amazing how one little person,

can have such a HUGE effect on how we see ourselves?
