EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I bet it'll be another hoax, just like the recent "hobbit" people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwyrm Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Wait . . . were the hobbit people a hoax? (Sorry, I haven't been paying attention.) Or do you just think that all fossils of human ancestors are fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aluigi Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 personally, i don't think they're human ancestors.. there's just a bunch of creatures that are similar, pinacle amoung them being humans, many became extinct or perhaps adapted into a modern monkey it doesn't surprise me at all that God would make a lot of animals in the same shape as man. that's His favorite shape to make stuff in. image/likeness of God and all that you know they made a map of all the nearby galaxies and it looks like a gigantic stick man? God likes this shape, that's why he gave it to us, and that's why he made like a thousand different species of animal like each other in this shape.

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I heard on the radio that the hobbit people turned out to be a hoax. Supposedly, tests have shown that these people had some kind of physical condition that stunted their growth. In effect, they are actually Homo sapiens. There were two competing scientific teams on the scene with conflicting viewpoints and the "hobbit" crowd got their's to the news first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don John of Austria Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Well I have just done a cursary search NOTHING says it was a hoax nothing and all of the sholarly sites still have it as a ligit discovery, what I find interesting is that wikipedia already has it up[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_floresiensis"]here[/url] no mention of a hoax there either. Oh and by the way they where Homo Erectus not Homo sapien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
