Further evidence for small-bodied hominins from the late pleistocene of flores, Indonesia
Article Abstract:
Additional Homo floresiensis that remains excavated from the cave in 2004, which includes arm bones belonging to the holotype skeleton, a second adult mandible, and postcranial material from other individuals is described. The findings demonstrate that LB1 is not just an aberrant or pathological individual, but is representative of a long-term population that was present during the interval 95-74 to 12 thousand years ago.
