""What the hobbit remains are now telling us is that the hominines that we thought went extinct at least a million or more years ago, here is one surviving lineage.

"We're probably going to start finding these more primitive, isolated communities all over in the next five to 15 to 50 years in the fossil record."

Amazing, the story of evolution, mammals, apes, hominids, homo sapiens and finally the pinnacle, the Scots-Irish.
