Thanks, Michael. Thanks for uploading the photo; very interesting. As I'm sure you already know, one of the things I've been hypothesizing is that modern...
A thought: If this hypothetic scenario is true, it may be possible to reconstruct or map out, with a high degree of accuracy, the genetic makeup of H....
There's a caveat to this idea: A number of "archaic" (whether from H. floresiensis or H. erectus) genes may have been entirely selected out in modern...
Another thing, in such a genetic comparison, it would help to have a control sample, a wide sampling from other modern humans, outside of Africa and SE Asia. ...

Thanks, Pete. I also see the brow ridge in that photo. It's hard for me to imagine that he (the pygmy man in the photo) ISN'T related to H. floresiensis. (By...
Michael, That's an interesting idea. I'm not familiar with that kind of ornament. But I suppose it is possible. I wonder what it would be made of, and...

Michael, Thanks. It does, now, appear likely to be an ornament. But I think that other primitive-looking features, such as the brow ridge, may stem from...
Regarding the hairiness of H. floresiensis (and H. erectus, for that matter,) I wonder if one group was relatively hairless (possibly H. floresiensis, given...

Michael, That seems possible. On the other hand, there seem to be many other possible scenarios. One that I favor is that H. sapiens arose only as a hybrid...
