Homo floresiensis

Please submit only scientific sites that are about the Flores Man (Homo floresiensis).
Discovered in 2004, skeletal remains show that the hominins, nicknamed 'hobbits' by some of their discoverers, were only one metre tall, had a brain one-third the size of that of modern humans, and lived on an isolated island long after Homo sapiens had migrated through the South Pacific region, 18.000 years ago.
