Homo floresiensis Skull

Cast of Homo floresiensis skull. Nicknamed Hobbit, H. floresiensis is a possible species in the genus Homo, remarkable for its small body and brain, that survived until relatively recent times. It was named after the Indonesian island of Flores on which the remains were found. One largely complete subfossil skeleton and a complete jawbone from a second individual (dated at 18,000 years old) was discovered in deposits in Liang Bua Cave on Flores in 2003.
