The island of Flores has a storied history of ancient tiny humans, and local folklore about a small 'ape-man' adds another layer to its anthropological significance.
Professor Gregory Forth mentioned that before the discovery of 'Homo floresiensis', local tribes had already shared tales of a creature that sounded remarkably similar.
The sightings of this creature aren't isolated incidents; dozens of locals, including subsistence farmers, continue to recount experiences with what they term the 'lai ho'a'.
The continued belief in the tiny 'ape man' by the Lio people highlights the intersection of folklore and historical discovery in understanding human origins.
