Anthropologist confirms 'Hobbit' indeed a separate species

A National Geographic Society handout photo shows an artist's impression released by the University of Wollongong, south of Sydney, showing a previously unknown human species discovered by Australian and Indonesian scientists on the Indonesian island of Flores and named Homo floresiensis. Scientific evidence supports the theory that a 18,000-year old 'Hobbit' skeleton unearthed in Indonesia was a new species closely related to Homo sapiens.
