The fossils of Homo floresiensis were discovered in 2003 in Liang Bua, a large limestone cave on the Indonesian island of Flores. The species name floresiensis is derived from the name of the island. What shocked the world of science is that the bones found on Flores were not Homo erectus or any previously identified early hominin. The remains found in Liang Bua, and thus named LB1, appear to be those of an entirely new species: a dwarf-like hominin about 1.5 meters tall with a small brain. One archeologist referred to the fossil as a "hobbit," and this is the name that stuck. The discovery caused a sensation by pointing to an unknown species in human evolution, and it sparked the publication of many scientific articles and news stories. |
