Homo floresiensis is E.T.

No, H. floresiensis isn't from outter space. Instead, this new human species isn't really a new species at all, but a tiny Homo Sapien like the woman who played E.T. in the Spielberg film. At least, that's what WorldNetDaily tells us. Apparently the article's author, Kelly Hollowell, thinks that "modern-day dwarfs" have brains that are "closer to the brain size of a modern day monkey and other pre-human ancestors who purportedly became extinct 2 million years ago," too. At least, that's what I get from the comparison. Do you ever wonder where WND and Tech Central Station find these people?

This is a great story and we’ll know more once the original research team gets back to the caves in Flores. Hard to believe, but their work was halted by the Indonesian government at one point. There is more on this ongoing controversy about Homo floresiensis at www.floresgirl.com.
