A new study describes 700,000-year-old teeth and arm bones from a toddler-size hobbit, Homo floresiensis, suggesting they were smaller than previously believed, with a minuscule brain size about one-third that of modern humans.
Scientists are divided on how to classify Homo floresiensis within the family tree of humans and extinct relatives, with hypotheses ranging from growth disorders to distinct species.
