Concerning Hobbits

The video explores the fascinating story of Homo floresiensis, also known as hobbits, who lived in Southeast Asia. Discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003, these small hominids stood about 1 meter tall and had brains the size of grapefruits. Despite their size, they thrived for hundreds of thousands of years, using tools and hunting dwarf elephants. Theories about their origins include descent from Homo erectus and adaptation through island dwarfism. Their extinction remains a mystery, with hypotheses ranging from volcanic eruptions to encounters with modern humans.
