Hobbit Is Human Heredity From The Different Dimension?

CANBERRA (Reuters CAIRO) - Hobbit dwarf creatures from Flores, continues to cause debate among experts. The latest, scientists associated with the complexity of assessing the hobbit human family.

Hobbit is often considered a different species than humans because of small stature, people who suffer from certain diseases or even small-brained species are capable of using tools.

The latest theory that appeared in the Journal of Human Evolution says that these creatures come from the human lineage in the order history pre-human 5-foot extinct more than 12 thousand years ago.

Studies conducted by John Trueman of the Australian National University offers a new alternative.

Rather than classify the hobbits in the human family tree, Trueman looked 'family tree' has three interrelated dimensions.

"It is better to explain this by assuming the existence of the complexity of our distant descendants, in which to place all sorts of species emerged millions of years ago"

"Unfortunately, there are some things that separates then occurred the marriage with a different creature. This includes a group of extinct species Homo floresiensis, or hobbits," says Trueman.

Trueman argue that this multidimensional analysis to provide clarity about the history of ancient hobbits. These creatures are thought to be descendants of Australopithecus africanus, an ape-like species that lived during the last 2 million years. This species has interbred so as to create new offspring.

Trueman also agree that the hobbits including descendants of ancient humans. This statement also helped shared by Debbie Argue of the ANU. "Trueman show an alternative hypothesis for human development than just an alternative view of Homo floresiensis," said Argue.


Argue also see the similarities between ancient human hobbit with others in the use of tools. While hobbits have primitive features, form the framework of the skull of this species slightly similar to the human family.

"The brain becomes very important to learn than just the size of the brain," said Argue again.
