The 18,000-year-old skeleton, officially known as Homo floresiensis, gets its nickname from its squat stature. Since the discovery, scientists have debated whether the specimen actually represents an extinct species in the human family tree, perhaps a diminutive offshoot of Homo erectus, a 1.8-million-year-old hominid and the first to have body proportions comparable to those of modern Homo sapiens.

Skulls of Homo floresiensis and a modern human.  Homo floresiensis was discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003. H. floresienses was only about 3.5 feet tall and fully bipedal, with a very small brain. The skull has human-like teeth with a receding forehead and no chin. They lived between 95,000 and 13,000 years ago, used many kinds of stone tools, and had fire. They hunted a now-extinct species of pygmy elephants, Komodo dragons, and the giant rats found on Flores.
