FLORES HOBBITS SORTA LIKE HUMAN/CHIMP/TOLKIEN

Flores Hobbits Were Sort of Like Humans, Sort of Like Chimps, Sort of Like Tolkien’s Fantasy Beings

Archaeologists are slowly bringing “the Hobbit Human” to light as new bones turn up and add pieces to the puzzle of what this ancient Homo species looked like. The latest findings, three wrist bones, were unearthed in Flores, Indonesia, and provide further evidence that H. floresiensis did indeed exist, refuting claims by other researchers that hobbits were just human pygmies.

“The tiny people from Flores were not simply diseased modern humans,” Caley Orr, lead author of the paper describing the finding in the Journal of Human Evolution, told Discovery News.

Science News provides some background:

Hobbits died out around 17,000 years ago, after having descended from a member of the human evolutionary family that must have reached Indonesia by 1 million years ago, the researchers propose.

Hobbits’ wrists limited their ability to make and use stone tools, the scientists contend. Basic stone cutting implements excavated on Flores date to 800,000 years ago.

The hobbits stood about 3’6” tall—within the range of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional hobbits, said to stand between 2 to 4 feet. They also had long, broad feet like Tolkien’s characters.

Like modern humans, the Flores hobbits walked on two legs and had small canine teeth. They lived a cave man lifestyle, and researchers have found ancient remnants of stone tools, animal bones and fire in caves on the island.

Unlike modern humans, however, hobbit arms were longer than their legs, Discovery points out, giving them a more ape-like structure. Their inferred small brain size puts them on par with a chimpanzees for IQ.

The Hobbit’s wrist looked like that of early human relatives, such as Australopithecus, but the key ancestral candidate now is Homo erectus, “Upright Man.”

It is possible that a population of H. erectus became stranded on the Indonesian island and dwarfed there over time. Orr said that “sometimes happens to larger animals that adapt to small island environments.”

A problem, however, is that H. erectus is somewhat more modern looking than the Hobbit, so researchers are still seeking more clues.

The researchers hope to tease out how the Flores hobbits managed to make stone tools with their relatively primitive hands and wrists. “H. floresiensis solved the morphological and manipulative demands of tool-making and tool-use in a different way than Neanderthals and ourselves,” Orr told Discovery News.

nasa; 1 in 6 stars have earth sized planet

At Least One in Six Stars Has an Earth-sized Planet

drake equation anyone...?

life is probably a lot more common than we ever could imagine.

The quest to determine if planets like Earth are rare or common is taking another stride forward on the journey. Using NASA's Kepler spacecraft, managed by NASA Ames Research Center, astronomers are beginning to find Earth-sized planets orbiting distant stars. A new analysis of Kepler data shows that about 17 percent of stars have an Earth-sized planet in an orbit closer than Mercury. Since the Milky Way has about 100 billion stars, there are at least 17 billion Earth-sized worlds out there.

Francois Fressin, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), presented the analysis today in a press conference at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Long Beach, Calif. A paper detailing the research has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.

The research team found that 50 percent of all stars have a planet of Earth-size or larger in a close orbit. By adding larger planets detected in wider orbits up to the orbital distance of the Earth, this number increases to 70 percent.

Extrapolating from Kepler's currently ongoing observations and results from other detection techniques, scientists have determined that nearly all sun-like stars have planets.

Planets closer to their stars are easier to find because they transit more frequently. As more data are gathered, planets in larger orbits will be detected. In particular, Kepler's extended mission will enable the detection of Earth-sized planets at greater distances, including Earth-like orbits in the "habitable zone," the region in a planetary system where liquid water might exist on the surface of an orbiting planet.

Kepler is the first NASA mission capable of finding Earth-size planets orbiting in or near the habitable zone of the host star. NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., is the home organization of the science principal investigator, and is responsible for the ground system development, mission operations, and science data analysis.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo., developed the Kepler flight system and supports mission operations with JPL at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore archives, hosts and distributes the Kepler science data. Kepler is NASA's 10th Discovery Mission and is funded by NASA's Science Mission Directorate at the agency's headquarters.

obama to push for citizenship of most illegals

Obama Will Seek Citizenship Path in One Fast Push

makes complete sense to give those already here citizenship. they are currently working but not paying taxes, benefitting off our healthcare system as well. if they want to continue living here make them pay their fair share! legalize mexicans!

What's the big deal about a Christian mother rooting her daughter?!!

The bible doesn't condemn it, therefore, as Yoni says, it's not a“sin.” In fact the Bible doesn't even mention a mother and daughter playing Munch a Muff or Strapadictome.

This is just more typical persecution of decent family values Christians by filthy atheistic Muslim loving Commies!! :mad::mad:
