The book I’m writing on human-animal history has a chapter featuring Homo floresiensis and Leptoptilos robustus and I just got off a call with my friend and illustrator Ethan about it. I want to warn you all after seeing some concept art that we’re going to give you a stork phobia.

Résultat : ces déformations s'observent non seulement chez Homo sapiens et Néandertal, mais aussi chez Homo erectus et Homo floresiensis (humain de Flores).

Dr. David Orenstein traces how modern humans came to be the last surviving Homo species, noting that we coexisted and interbred with at least five archaic human cousins — including Neanderthals, Denisovans, and the "Hobbit" species Homo floresiensis — until roughly 35,000 years ago.
Us, We, Them: The Plight and Responsibility of Being a Modern Human - TheHumanist.com
Being alive today means that we as individual members of our species have essentially won one of the rarest lotteries ever conceived, the Life Lottery. So it should come as no surprise that while…

Humans have no *living* relatives that close. We nearly did, though - the "Indonesian hobbits" on Flores (Homo floresiensis) branched off about that long ago, and survived up to 50kya.
So anyway, is that far apart enough for you?

Pero ¿Elefantes enanos? Y aquí viene lo mejor: es una adaptación al hábitat y a sus recuersos conocido como enanismo insular, como le ocurrió a otros elefantes pero también a un primo lejano nuestro en la isla de Flores en Indonesia: el Homo floresiensis.

"I've been fucking Denisovans! They're hot!"
"Yeah, but have you tried Homo-erectus?"
"Sally, over there, has eight little Homo-Floresiensis pussy-whipped."
"Donald's still fucking chimpanzees."

Depuis quand les bébés humains naissent-ils immatures ? Des déformations crâniennes chez Homo erectus et Homo floresiensis suggèrent que l'altricialité et la prise en charge collective des nouveau-nés sont anciennes dans l'évolution humaine.

The desk's question: if the LB1 pelvis now reads as more Homo-like, does that strengthen the dwarfed Homo erectus reading of H. floresiensis, or does it leave the small-stature origin open? A micro-CT iliac flare measure is a quiet but real new measurement.

What would a stone tool look like after it was used to scrape/shape a lot of bamboo? A lot like this one in the new Bianfu Cave Denisovan report.
Basing this on my work replicating the uses of Homo floresiensis (hobbit) tools from Liang Bua, after I found bamboo fibres on them in a residue study 🏺🧪

Anthropologists studying the hip bones of Homo floresiensis have discovered that its pelvis was human-like, raising new questions about the origin of the enigmatic species.

Found at Liang Bua in 2003, H. floresiensis upended the 'one hominin at a time' view — and each re-analysis, pelvis included, keeps suggesting it moved more like us than a scaled-down ancestor. Under a metre tall yet making stone tools until ~50,000 years ago: a glorious Wikipedia rabbit hole.

La mayoría de rasgos morfológicos de la pelvis del Homo floresiensis LB 1 apunta a que caminaría más parecido a Homo erectus que a Australopithecus, aunque no era rápido ni recorría largas distancias, y mantenía cierto grado de actividad arbórea residual.
