## Resource

Homo Florensiensis Episode s2-37 The Hobbits: There have been stories of fairies, elves, sprites and pixies from different cultures all over the world. Scientists have always chalked up these stories to mere folklore, legends and myths. But then they discovered the remains of small hominids that only stood about 3 1/2 feet tall and would weigh an average of about 40 lbs. Could these so called hobbits be the type of extinct hominid that all of the stories and legends were about? Join us as we discuss the enigmatic Hobbits of the Island of Flores.
