SUMMARY:Are Hobbits Real? Further Adventures with Homo Floresiensis
DESCRIPTION: Location: Barrick Museum Auditorium Dean Falk\, Hale G. S
	mith Professor of Anthropology\, Florida State University Scientists w
	ere shocked at the 2004 announcement that a diminutive human species (
	Homo floresiensis) lived 18\,000 years ago on the Indonesian island of
	 Flores. The most complete specimen\, nicknamed Hobbit\, stood only 3 
	½ feet tall and had a small brain. The archaeological evidence suggest
	s that hobbits made stone tools\, hunted miniature elephant-like creat
	ures\, used fire\, and cooked their food. Because of their small brain
	s\, some researchers think that these so-called hobbits represent dise
	ased humans (Homo sapiens) rather than an unknown species. The speaker
	 will discuss the controversy that continues to surround Homo floresie
	nsis and describe where her own research team stands on the question.
