Oh boy, the Hobbit is coming

She's the little one on the left. On April 21st we'll have a chance to see a cast of the skeleton of this ancient human called the Flores Hobbit at a symposium at Stony Brook University. Here's an account of the original find in 2003. And here's the Wiki article on Homo floresiensis.
