The remains seem to be of an extinct lineage of humans that lived in Asia from one million to (possibly) about 30,000 years ago. It's possible the remains are of a distinct species.

It is definitely exciting. I certainly don't want to derail Sunstone's thread but there's been some new papers published on LB1 (the "Hobbit" fossil) and it brought to mind some (off the cuff and tentative) comparisons here. The controversy over H. floresiensis (LB1) and the claims that it was a dwarf Homo erectus or even a modern human is comparable here imo. LB1's skull is most similar in configuration to early examples of Homo, but a jaw reminiscent of australopithecines. In short, the Hobbit fossil looks more and more to be a unique species. Too bad there's no Hobbit DNA available like there is for Lady X. The comparison to Lady X obviously only goes so far since all we have so far is the pinky. But I think the comparison is apt in that we have claims about a new species of hominid and the evidence continuing to trickle in supporting the claim.Read about it in Science Daily, I'll be waiting for more in depth releases. mt sequence can give us valuable data when compared to that of other species, and that is what they did with the X-Woman, comparing the mt sequence to that of modern humans and neanderthals, but like Nepenthe said, this find will be tackled from many angles by perhistorians, and we'll wise up.

This is Just a bit more of the stuff Satan scattered around to confuse us.
It must be so because the Bible never lies....
Even if a live one was found running around, it would be the spawn of the devil not human.
