Abstract

The article cites a study related to small archaic humans, conducted by paleoanthropologist Peter Brown and archaeologist Michael Morwood of the University of New England in Armidale, Australia, and their colleagues at the Indonesian Center for Archaeology in Jakarta, Indonesia. The report was published in the October 28, 2003 issue of the journal Nature. Scientists have made the startling discovery of a lost world of small archaic humans, who hunted dwarf elephants and Komodo dragons on an Indonesian island as recently as 18,000 years ago.
