flag 700,000-year-old H. floresiensis remains discovered in Indonesia indicate possible height reduction to 2.4 inches shorter than previously believed.

flag 700,000-year-old teeth and arm bones discovered in Indonesia suggest that the Hobbit humans, or H. floresiensis, may have been even smaller than initially thought. flag New findings from Mata Menge, an open-air site near where H. floresiensis remains were found, indicate that these ancient human relatives could have been 2.4 inches shorter than previously believed. flag The research team analyzed the tiny arm bone fragment and teeth to support their findings, which were published in the journal Nature Communications. flag The study aims to shed light on the evolutionary history and extinction of these early human species.
