New species of Human discovered, nicknamed the Hobbit
Time
Scientists have discovered a new and tiny species of human that lived in Indonesia at the same time our own ancestors were colonising the world.
The three-foot (one-metre) tall species - dubbed "the Hobbit" - lived on Flores island until at least 12,000 years ago.

The fact that little people feature in the legends of modern Flores islanders suggests we might have to take tales of Leprechauns and Yeti more seriously.

This is mad, this island where this was discovered also had tiny elephants and giant rats. Also these "hobbits" were actually intelligent, they hunted and used fire. Even more mad is that scientists say they could still be around.
