A cast of a Hobbit skeleton will be publicly displayed for the first time ever at Stony Brook University’s 7th Human Evolution Symposium on April 21, thanks to the National Research and Development Centre for Archaeology in Jakarta, Indonesia. As the debate rages on about whether Homo floresiensis – the so called Hobbit – fossils discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003, represent a separate human species, the symposium will bring together the researchers currently in the process of describing and analyzing the remains. ‘Hobbit’ Skeleton to be unveiled on April 21
