And Now for Something Completely Different.....

A word about myself, I have a bachelors degree in anthropology and have also attended two years of grad scholl in anthropology (although sadly I did not get my masters degree - long story). So I think this is just about the coolest thing ever. A species of Homo erectus has been discovered in Indonesia. What makes this totally unique is that adult Homo floresiensis stood three feet tall and had a cranial capacity of about 380 cubic centimeters. Even more astonishing is the fact that H. floresiensis was a tool user. Follow the link Homo floresiensis , as well as the links to Nature's website for more info.
