Velvet Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Couldn't they just be like pygmys? Tres cool though. I like that sightings of them alive are rumoured to be only 200 years ago. Very leprechaun-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 From what I understand from this, pygmies are small, but still the same 'race' as the rest of us... but this new one is considered not to be directly related to us... there is not enough detail to entail what exactly the differences are.

balogna pogna Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 It always blows my mind how groundbreaking discoveries like this gets buried behind the "real news" like the elections and that chick on Saturday Night Live who lip-synched. I have a feeling that they are going to discover some mind-blowing stuff on this island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 "A well documented biological phenomenon is that island populations, isolated for a long time, tend to become either gigantic or miniaturized..."

paisley Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 according to this Indonesian tourism site, there have been recorded sightings of the "Orang Pendek" (small bipedal 'orangutan') by natives and travellers numerous times over the past 150 years... in the last 3 years anthropologists have set up cameras to try to capture them on film but no luck yet, and sightings have become much less frequentif I was 3 feet tall I could see myself avoiding humanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paan Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Too bad they aren't still around, they would fit in my BBQ perfectly... I could open a floresiensis specialty restaurant, and call it Flo's Diner... Dang volcanoes ruin everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
