Confirmed the existence of Hobbits or flower men in Indonesia

The Hobbits or flower men were found in Indonesia, in 2003 the remains of an individual measuring approximately 1.07 cm were discovered. They found it in a cave called Liang Bua on this flower island. Due to its size, it was nicknamed the Hobbits after one of The races of the Lord of the Rings in those years were fashionable. The scientific man is homo florencis or man of flowers, following the tradition of giving the discovery the name of the place or region where it was discovered, a tradition that has been broken very rarely. The discovery of the Hobbit produced enormous controversy, some said that it was a mistake, that he was a normal human of the time, but that he had dwarfism and also that he was a human, but with health problems, they even complained about the nickname of the Hobbit because he was a fantastic being of movie, as if in science nicknames and names of fantastic beings were not given everywhere, for example the planets, they are all names of ancient gods.

Even the rights managers of Tolkien's work got involved in the controversy, the matter became complicated and in 2012 these rights managers arrived, who are very brutal, even prohibiting a scientist from New Zealand from using the word Hobbit in a lecture that I was going to give about Homo florensis, so although I like the word man of flowers, which I think is a very poetic and very beautiful term, from now on I will call this man this species Hobbit, more than anything to annoy .

The important thing is that in the end it was confirmed that it was real and that the only error was in the dating that was given at the beginning, which had been estimated at just over 12,000 years and that we currently know what this being is, these remains. that were found date from 60,000 to 100,000 years ago, apparently it is difficult to date the bones due to the environmental conditions of the Island, until 2015 the remains of 15 individuals have been found.

All 15 individuals with similar characteristics, which confirms that they were another species of humans, but of very short stature, where did they come from, the majority theory mentions that hobbits descend from a population of homo erectus, a species from which We also descend, that population arrived on the island a million years ago, perhaps they arrived riding on logs due to a tsunami, or an earthquake, this is what the researchers of the study that are now in the news said.

The point is that the population of Homo erectus was isolated, the island of Flores has an underwater trench to the north that caused the island to be separated from the whole, even in the times when the sea level fell and many of the islands of Indonesia They were united, connected, creating a territory that was very favorable for humans. In the times of the Ice Age, for example, it was a territory with a very good climate. Remember that in the Ice Ages, not all of the earth was frozen, it was frozen. Well, Europe and North America part of South America but the equatorial zone continued to maintain a very acceptable climate.

And that specific area of Indonesia, of that entire area, was one of the reservoirs of the human species, the erect homos, they were tall guys, they could measure up to 1.80 easily, they were robust, slender, they were adventurers, they were the ones who practically They spread throughout the known world, throughout Eurasia, and also reached the island of flowers and their body structure was very similar to ours. But by remaining isolated on the island with limited resources they decreased in size, on the one hand there were no large predators on the island to fight against, so it was not necessary to be very strong to face dangerous animals and on the other hand, The one who needs to eat the least survives with fewer resources and those were the smallest individuals and that is how the hobbits evolved and adapted very well. In fact, they managed to survive the catastrophe of the Toba supervolcano in Indonesia that occurred about 74,000 years ago and the trail of the hobbits was finally lost about 50,000 years ago, it is believed that it coincided with the arrival of the first Homo Sapiens, our species, We do not know if our species exterminated them or integrated them, we would have to obtain DNA from hobbits and compare it with the DNA of the inhabitants of the region. And even if their trail was lost, at least there are no more arrows, no more tools than they used, no more bones after that age after 550,000 years, that does not mean that they became extinct, at least there are doubts, it does not mean that were extinct just then, there may still be Caves to explore.
