The human species is the sole inhabitant of Earth today, but we are just one of several human species that have evolved over millennia. In 2004, the world was astonished by the discovery of Homo floresiensis, a previously unknown human species, on the Indonesian island of Flores. This species was characterized by its short stature, thick build, long arms and legs, and a fondness for stegodons, a now-extinct relative of modern elephants. Interestingly, these hobbit-like cousins lived alongside our ancestors as recently as 52,500 years ago, during the time when our species was expanding globally.
In her book, Little Species, Big Mystery: Archaeologist Debbie Argue takes readers on a captivating journey of scientific discovery. She recounts the excavation of H. floresiensis, the subsequent archaeological expeditions, and other remarkable findings, including the discovery of a small hominin in the Philippines. Argue vividly conveys the excitement of searching for and uncovering clues to a forgotten past, as well as the lively discussions that have emerged from these discoveries. She provides extensive contextual information to enhance our understanding of this field and pique our interest in the enigmatic and captivating realm of prehistoric times.
