THE MOST BANKABLE BET IN "SCIENCE":

New twist in Hobbit-human debate (BBC, 3/05/08)

The row over the origins of "Hobbit" fossils found on the Indonesian island of Flores has taken a new twist.

An Australian team claims the little people were not a new human species, but modern humans with a form of dwarfism caused by poor nutrition.


The announcement of a new species always turns out to be a lie later.

I don't watch "LOST" - does this fit in the storyline anywhere?

Not yet, but it's sure to be written in for future episodes.
