The hobbit he's referring to is the recent discovery of miniature hominid fossils, proposed formal name Homo floresiensis, see, for example, 'Hobbit' Fossil Likely Represents New Branch On Human Family Tree. There was one interpretation that a molar showed signs of containing a filling, but I don't know much about it.
