[CREATIONISM HAVE ONLY TEN MONTHS ..]
....[Narration] - So you're not surprised then that this group of
....human types could become very small? Why?
....JARED DIAMOND: There're lots of big animals that arrive on small islands and
....then, over evolutionary time, they shrink on...shrink in size.
....KRULWICH: In islands where instead of hippos there
....are pigmy hippos ; instead of elephants, there are elephants
....one-eighth normal scale. So maybe people landed on the Island
....of Flores, and they got smaller, too one half our size.
....Amazingly the thing is , though, is their tiny little brains
....were a third our size.
....R HOLLOWAY: ...here is associated with supposedly sophisticated
....stone tools. RALPH HOLLOWAY: What the hell have they found?
.... > >
....KERRY GRANT: [Evidently] this'd show us that some-
....thing w/such the 'little brain may have been more capable
....of doing a lot more things than we originally thought.
[Narration] KRULWICH: The Australians' team say they got to
....traces of scorched earth evidentially finding "a campfire"
.... so-the little-people may have been cooking with fire And Else
....-where the team found stone artefacts & stone tools nearby...
....[whatever the interest is in]THAT MAY OR MAY NOT have belonged
....to-them but they look sophisticated they-hunted 'dwarf'
....elephants [they] hunted & ate formidable prey 'cause not
....all island species get (sm) small-Warm-blooded animals
....shrink Where as Cold blooded animals often expand on islands,
....the niche left to fill by NALSA lions and tigers [being
....Apex Predators]So, most likely, if you were 3 foot tall
....you'd want to hunt these type of animals in-groups
....Wouldn't that, in your sense require some kind of signaling[in
....the hunt] ?'"
THAT MAY OR MAY NOT have belonged to, homo.floresiensis
