[MD] A Tiny Hominid With No Place on the Family Tree

[Platt Holden]

Hey Steve,

Quote from the article:

The possibilities get curiouser and curiouser, said William L. Jungers of Stony
Brook University<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/s/state_university_of_new_york_at_stony_brook/index.html?inline=nyt-org>,
making hobbits “the black swan of paleontology — totally unpredicted and
inexplicable.”

The discovery of these little people doesn't support another theory but does
raise questions about the current one. See the full article at:

As for science having no theories, isn't that all they have?

Regards,
Platt
