The Hobbit Enigma examines one of the greatest controversies in science
today: just what did scientists really find when they uncovered the
tiny, human-like skeleton of a strange creature on the Indonesian
island of Flores in 2003? Since the discovery was made public a bitter
dispute has split the world of anthropology. Are the bones a previously
unknown and bizarre primitive species of human? The Hobbit discovery
forces us to rethink some of the most fundamental questions of human
origins. How could the Hobbits have survived for so long and until so
recently? Who were its ancestors? Is it possible that human origins are
to be found in Asia, not Africa?
