"Hobbit" Finders to Return
Science · 2007
The team that discovered the remains of tiny humans in Indonesia's Liang Bua Cave plans to restart excavations in May. After controversy arose over whether the tiny bones were a new species or pathological Homo sapiens, Indonesian authorities closed the cave to anthropological digs. Now they are again allowing excavation, says team co-director Mike Morwood of the University of Wollongong in Australia.
