More debate (via Panda's Thumb) on what exactly the deal was with Homo floresiensis - aka, the Hobbits discovered in Malaysia. Are they a different species, or just microcephalic humans (humans with small brain sizes)?
Professor Colin Groves of the Australian National University thinks the former, and has a 7-part YouTube series on the details. (Part 1 here) Panda's Thumb reports from a conference on the subject that the microcephalic theory seems to be failing, and most paleontologists are starting to come around to the separate species view.
