So far, I've managed to find the following, regarding that legend I referred to , yesterday. This seems to be a very incomplete version of the legend, but...
Regarding the image I linked to, sorry, I forgot that Tripod blocks direct external links to images. You'll have to view the entire web page (with the Tripod...
I've found something else about now-extinct, red-haired giants of the Americas (see below.) While I haven't been to the museum, etc., to confirm this...
Ah, Wikipedia has some interesting material: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patagon Excerpt: "However, South American legends speak of several giant tribal...
John Hawks posted some material two days ago on his blog, on this subject. While he doesn't mention LB1 / Homo floresiensis, I think it has a direct bearing...
Allow me to reiterate, I think the cube square law also has a direct bearing on another of the PNAS "hobbits as sick humans" paper, that being the reduced...
Here's some info regarding the definition of "hominid," versus the definition of "hominin" (a more recent term.) I grew curious about this issue, largely due...
Of course, as I and others have previously pointed out, additional specimens (particularly, those including relatively intact craniums,) will ultimately be...
I thought, since I alluded to this fable (incidentally, one of my iconoclastic favorites,) I'd post a link to this Wikipedia entry (links to the actual fable...
Note: I found this posted in the Paleoanthropology group. As soon as I have the full article, I'll upload it here. This sounds like a very interesting...
Hi! I've been reading your posts. I'm kinda convinced that maybe our little Hobbit was a "super pygmy" after all. Probably LB1 was a deformed individual....
Hi Alvin, It's possible, but I think it's very unlikely. What are the chances of a population like that surviving on Flores Island for 72,000 years (and...

Aside from the one photo I linked to before, I had never before seen any photos of the Rampasasa (AKA Rampapasa) pygmies, until now. I just found some online...
Correction: In this hypothetical scenario, we don't really know when hybridization between the populations might truly have begun. It's possible that "Paju"...
Hi Dan, Yes, there have been some late reports that a certain team of scientists did a symmetry test by mirror imaging half of LB1's face and creating a whole...

It is interesting that when LB1's face was originally compared to modern homo sapiens, they compared LB1's bone structure to modern-day Europeans. When the...
Hello, Alvin, The mirror imaging exercise proves nothing, for several reasons. 1. The visual result depends so strongly on the camera angle. For example, if...
If I'm not mistaken, the discovery team did not erect an artificial barrier, excluding all but European specimens from comparison or consideration. It's...
I apologize for my typographical errors. I hope that my responses are, nonetheless, comprehensible. As always, questions/comments/etc. are welcome. Dan...
Another thought, regarding what I said below. If Y chromosomes and/or mitochondria with much older divergence dates (relative to our own samplings, to date,)...
Minor correction: I should have said "DNA," rather than "genes," because "non-coding" DNA should be even less likely to be selected out, than coding DNA,...
