Palau hominids

Unread post by topender »

did anyone see the show on the box about the discovery of a multitude of skeletons on the islands of Palau, the Anthropologists found a stack of remains in caves, the hominids were only a metre tall..very jungadee looking, when they carbon dated the remains it came back at 1000 years or earlier maybe as recent as 500 years, this must tie in with the Flores hobbits and in my mind our small yowies. brown jacks etc...........is it just me or is this exciting stuff..mmmmmmmmm anyone .......anyone at all, what you nerdy science people

Well, i've never heard of such a thing, but it sounds really interesting and thanx for posting it! As for "science people", include me out! What I know about anthropology wouldn't even rattle around in a peanut shell--in other words, zilch, nada, nix. (eek)

Sounds logical that there would be a link to our little fellas, but again, without any skeletons of ours to compare to the Palau ones, we'll probably never know.

Might be a podcast link here, but I didn't see it at first glance:

Hi Tye,

Nice to see you throw your hat back in the ring.

Al came up with a novel idea, and you living where you are, should be able to find some nice locations on locals advice?

Jump on the other thread Tye. No need to say from where you are (We know). You are in a great location. Quietly ask around.....
