Homo Floresiensis
Hopefully this remarkable find gets all the scientific study it deserves. I don't like the idea that Indonesian professor Jacob is keeping them (the bones of 7 tiny individuals) in a safe, locked away from other scientists. He May be correct that these bones represent a 100% human species, but if he is too ignorant to hand the bones over for study among international scientists, he is a fool. People like Jacob are the type of individuals who pose great obstacles to Science and knowledge. Hopefully Jacob will come to his 80-year old senses.
Tuff old birds like Jacob, are so selfishly ignorant and brainwashed in their own imaginations nothing could change them. I really hate how politics controls these sorts of things.

Re: Homo Floresiensis
hmm... I never thought of it that way.
I guess the thing that made me suspicious of Prof. Jacob was that he allegedly was known to keep skeletons in his closet(figuratively and literally). Perhaps it is really the media paintong him out to be an Ogre when in reality the Australians themselves are the ones who had the bones for a year without telling us.
Why didn't the Australians test for DNA back then?
