The Little People...
'Hobbit' Brain Supports Species Theory
I'm not one who is way into anthropology, but this article is somwhat interesting. A few months back there was a flury of news reports about tiny human like fossils found in a cave in Indonesia. These little people appear to be a subspecies or cousin to us modern folk. More interestingly is that local folklore in the region tells of stories of residents interacting with little elf like people from the woods. Those stories had been dismissed a legend, but now seem to have some new relevance.
