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.

Evolutionists: How many early human species existed on Earth?

Evolutionists know that  Homo sapiens didn't used to be alone.

 

“Long ago, there was a lot more human diversity; Homo sapiens lived alongside an estimated eight now-extinct species of human about 300,000 years ago. As recently as 15,000 years ago, we were sharing caves with another human species known as the Denisovans And fossilized remains indicate an even higher number of early human species once populated Earth before our species came along.”

 They have counted a number of species that do not match the human standard, for instance Homo erectus, Homo naledi, the hobbit and Neanderthals. .

 However, when we consider that as much as 2% of the average European's DNA comes from Neanderthals and up to 6% of the DNA of some Melanesians (Indigenous people from islands directly northeast of Australia in Oceania) comes from Denisovans, so are we really the same species.

 Some experts have argued that the concept of a species doesn't actually exist. as Creationists have argued, There is a difference between species and how it appears on Earth.For instance donkeys and horses are the same species.

John Stewart, an evolutionary paleoecologist at Bournemouth University in the United Kingdom  says that  that the chimpanzee and us have evolved from a common ancestor," Stewart said. If we decide that humans are everything that arrived after our split from ancient chimpanzees about 6 million to 7 million years ago, then it's likely to be a diverse group.

 We would agree with that. We believe that what Saint Paul said of Eve, we’re all descendants of a single mother,
