Its the Little People.

I just realized that I never posted a pointer to an article on the recent discovery of Homo floresiensis.  This cousin of Homo erectus turns out to have been a contemporary of ours. The newest bones date back only 15,000 years and according to legends of the (H. Sap.) natives in the area, the last of them only died out in the 1500's.

Well, remember what I was saying when I was at your house about my theory that there have been many different species of human, and that what we are now is the result of interbreeding, not just Homo Sapiens being more successful and the other species dying out? If the Homo floresiensis did indeed live into the 16th century, this would support that theory.

Yeah, and I have no doubt is was TRIED. I just don't know if it was biologically successful.
