Product of death the archaeologist Mike Morwood, recorded his works about humans evolution.

In the 2003, he and team the researchers the Australian-Indonesian, found a diminutive skull and others diminutive bones. Are very similar at the Hobbit. Peter Brown, other archaeologist specialist in the bones, to make the initial description of these skeletal.

The studies abroad for his determined that it was a new species related to humans, Homo floresiensis. The was generated because studies skeletal suggest that the Hobbits were in Flores as early as 70,000 years ago. Before modern humans were anywhere in the region.

Some researchers suggested that the bones were of modern people who were very small through natural causes. This theory attributed the small size to one or other pathology. However, Mike Morwood, has demonstrated how inappropriate that judgment was. This was published, along with other definitive studies of Liang Bua, in a special issue of the Journal of Human Evolution.

Open question about “Hobbit”. However Mike Morwood recorded was for work in evolution topics, but about old for inspired devotion among his students in the university.

Also was remember that in the archaeology history  many theory did not  become know many years later. How the case small tools the rock some archaeologists wedded to 19th-century European classification methods pontificated that such artifacts could only have been made by modern humans. But make for humans old.
