seattle-pk writes "Thousands of human bones belonging to numerous individuals have been discovered in the Pacific island nation of Palau. Some of the bones are ancient and indicate inhabitants of particularly small size, scientists announced today. The remains are between 900 and 2,900 years old and align with Homo sapiens, according to a paper on the discovery. However, the older bones are tiny and exhibit several traits considered primitive, or archaic, for the human lineage." This discovery would seem to add even more controversy to the earlier discovery of the hobbit-like Homo floresiensis and whether it should be considered a unique species."
