Details
The smallest known member of the hominid family is Homo floresiensis, discovered by Indonesian and Australian scientists in a cave at Liang Bua on the island of Flores, Indonesia. Standing just 1m (3 ft 3 in) tall, it inhabited Flores as recently as 13,000 years ago. This means it existed at the same time as modern humans, and probably interacted with them. This new species, nicknamed 'the hobbit' by dig workers, was announced in the journal Nature on 28 October 2004.
