The littlest human
Article Abstract:
Spectacular but controversial discoveries on an Indonesian island reveal that 13,000 years ago our planet was shared with a hobbit-size race of people called Hominid. Although the hominid is as small in body and brain as the earliest humans, it appears to have sophisticated stone tools, raising questions about the relation between brain size and intelligence.
