Middle Earth-dwelling hobbits may not be a total fantasy: It turns out that smallish, probably hairy humans lived many years ago, and new scientific evidence suggests that our Homo sapiens ancestors may be the reason they’re not around today.
Scientists first discovered Homo floresiensis, a small “primitive hominin species” in Indonesia during excavations that took place from 2001 to 2004, according to an article published in Nature this week. Standing at about 3 feet tall, their size earned the newly discovered species the nickname “hobbits,” after the race of small people in J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novels, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.
