This species, whose fossil record unusually stretches as recently as thirteen thousand years ago, likely primarily hunted a subspecies of Stegodon.
Larson et al noted that the holotype fossil of this species displays only one hundred and ten degrees of humeral torsion and concluded that it had a protracted scapula. This species, whose fossil record unusually stretches as recently as thirteen thousand years ago, likely primarily hunted a subspecies of Stegodon. Falk et al created endocast maps of this species that led them to reject the pelvis-smashing, femur-stealing Teuku Jacob's pathological explanation for its holotype fossil. Fossils of this species may represent sufferers of (*) Laron syndrome . Mirror-image reconstructions of the chinless face of the LB one fossil of this species reveal significant asymmetry, which combined with its short femora and possible microcephaly have led Bob Eckhardt to claim that it represents a developmentally abnormal Homo erectus rather than a new species that has undergone insular dwarfism. For 10 points, name this real-life "hobbit" discovered in 2003, a tiny hominin named for its home on an Indonesian island.
