As for the brain size , was this not proved to be standard in the 1800's when peoples heads where measured to see if they had criminal tendencies or not?

GreyWeather Posted September 25, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2005 it could be a skeleton of the 'hobbit' people, a gene is passed down through the males that makes them smaller, to around the size of a child. whils't the woman are imune to the gene. it could be a skeleton of them, but from ages past. doesn't mean they're not homo-sapiens, means that they had the same kinda gene as the people i mentioned.
