Here’s a new challenge from Peter Brown, shown photographing Homo floresiensis (LB1) below, who speaks directly to these critics, via Cryptomundo: […]

Posted by: Loren Coleman on May 21st, 2006

Peter Brown has spoken before of the interrelationship between the media-named "Hobbits," Flores’ ebu gogo, and Bigfoot. In an interview for Scientific American in 2004, the discoverer of Homo floresiensis was asked, Certainly by the time of LB1, people had well-developed language and oral traditions. Might encounters with humans like LB1 and other, unknown, island […]

New Little Skulls

Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 30th, 2006

A new species of monkey discovered in South America, larger than contemporary monkeys? A new hominid species found, perhaps as a link between erectus and sapiens?
