Did hobbits or Homo floresiensis eat animal bones left by Komodo dragons, according
to devolution, the science says it is so.
The
diminutive ancient humans nicknamed hobbits that lived on the Indonesian island
of Flores until around 50,000 years ago had limited hunting skills, according
to a study of animal bones found in their caves. Instead, researchers think
they scavenged meat that was left behind by Komodo dragons.
Fossils
of Homo floresiensis were first announced to the world in 2004. These humans stood just over a
metre tall and their remains have been dated to between 90,000 and 50,000 years
old.
