No ancestral link between 'hobbits' and two present-day 'pygmy' lineages
- Groups of pygmy people live near a site where fossils of a short-statured species of hominin called Homo floresiensis were found
- Whether present-day inhabitants are descendants of Homo floresiensis was up for debate
- New DNA analysis shows no ancestral link between current population and Homo floresiensis
- Short stature evolved twice in two separate lineages of hominins on Flores
Blogger Comment:
Given that the Homo floresiensis fossils are physically consistent with Australopithecines and physically inconsistent with both Homo erectus and Homo sapiens, this is not a surprising finding.
