Note: Could Flores Man have encountered pygmy elephants in a non- island environment such as the Indian mainland, and begun using them for transportation and...
More notes: One question raised by this alleged discovery is, did pygmy elephants first evolve due to island dwarfism, or in mountainous forests, or perhaps...

That's odd. With a population possibly limited to 4 individuals, how can they rule out their existence so easily? It sounds like a fairly typical response,...
Another thing, it could be the census teams were looking in the wrong places. The article stated that the pygmy elephants inhabit mountainous terrain that is...

Interestingly, this whole topic of elephants and hominids may relate to the prehistoric flute from Peru, which I have seen a photo of, which appears to depict...
I just caught myself repeating the "Out of Africa" line, when it clearly may not fit. This migration might not have been out of Africa, but (as recent...
Or a mix of both. Assuming island dwarfism is behind Flores man, doesn't that show that significant evolutionary changes happened outside of Africa and may...
Anthony, Good points. I'm sure that hominid evolution isn't constrained to Africa. Roughly speaking, I'd say that hominid evolution could occur anywhere that...
