new species of human discovered!
I really am packing, but look! They found some previously unknown little people! 'the most extreme human ever discovered'. This is just brilliant.
"It is totally unexpected," said Chris Stringer, director of the Human Origins program at the Natural History Museum in London. "To have early humans on the remote island of Flores is surprising enough. That some are only about a meter tall with a chimp-size brain is even more remarkable. That they were still there less than 20,000 years ago, and [that] modern humans must have met them, is astonishing."
watch out homo sapiens, you aint all that special after all.
