Ancient Bones of Small Humans Discovered in Palau
According to Berger, the estimated brain size of the early Palauans is about twice the size of the hobbit brain.
Several other features, including the shape of the face and hips, suggest that the Palauan bones should be classified as Homo sapiens.
If the interpretation of the Palauan remains is correct, the find may add more fuel to the debate over whether the Flores hobbit is a unique species, Berger said.
