- Summary
- "This book lays out the argument against the labelling of a skeleton found in Indonesia (the 'Hobbit') a 'new species' of human. Maciej Henneberg, international scientist and palaeo-anthropologist, writes of his reaction to the extraordinary claims of a 'new species' find, his quick conclusion that the skeleton is not a new species, and his theory - along with other colleagues - that the skeleton is not only not a new species, but is that of a modern human with a growth disorder, and may only be around 40-50 years old. Based on studies of the teeth, Maciej Henneberg and other scientists believe the 'Hobbit' may have had modern dental work."--Provided by publisher.
