Hobbits?
So a new human species, Homo floresiensis, has been discovered on the island of Flores in Indonesia.
Apparently related to our ancient relatives, Homo Erectus, these guys were only 3 feet tall and were around recently enough to share the island with modern humans. They lived in caves - much like the partially underground houses of Tolkien's hobbits.
How did they get there? Boats? That would make them a lot smarter we expected Homo Erectus to be.

Very interesting! Perhaps visitors from another galaxy?
