Title: Scientists: Hobbit wasn't a modern human
Post by: chokkan 2 on September 27, 2007, 02:46:52 AM

Scientists, wringing their hands over the identity of the famed "hobbit" fossil, have found a new clue in the wrist. Since the discovery of the bones in Indonesia in 2003, researchers have wrangled over whether the find was an ancient human ancestor or simply a modern human suffering from a genetic disorder.

Now, a study of the bones in the creature's left wrist lends weight to the human ancestor theory, according to a report in Friday's issue of the journal Science. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070922/ap_on_sc/hobbit_wrist;_ylt=AuvbIGfSnuOdCcBbRWJcrWsPLBIF)
