Still extant ?
Greetings all,
The discovery of this very recent "little person" fossil reminds me of a
very odd conversation I had some time ago with an aborigine here in Perth.
I used to know a certain Ian Beafort-Dinah, whose line are the leaders of
the local Noongah community here (his grandfather was Noongah chief, his
father was part of the "stolen generation", Ian had not been initiated as
leader.)
He told me of an occasion when his father took him to see something rather
unusual : he took him to a remote location, they waited quietly - eventually
they saw what he described as little "people" with no clothes, somewhat
hairy, who used simple tools and avoided contact with us large people.
I quizzed him hard - he was certain he actually physically saw them, he was
certain they existed, he was certain it was not a dream experience or
anything like that.
Naturally, I was rather sceptical :-)
But,
on the other hand - Australia is a BIG place with a lot of empty space -
perhaps it is remotely possible that these creatures still exist?

Re: Still extant ?
Greetings rox,
Indeed, if the "hobbits" turn up still alive it will be the most fantastic event in history
Of course, it's hardly likely they will - but 13,000 years is so recent it made me think of Ian's odd story.
Anyway
they are in the Bible, so it must be True -
Jeremiah 49:15 describes them -
"For behold, I have made you SMALL among the nations,
Despised among men. "
and goes on to give clear scientific proof about their environment -
"O you who live in the clefts of the rock,
Who occupy the height of the hill."
We can also see clear evidence that the hobbits descended from Jacob who was just learning to walk upright -
Amos 7:5 "Lord GOD, please pardon! How can Jacob stand, For he is small?"
