Who were the hobbits?

Hobbits are an early type of human species, whose fossils were recovered in Indonesia, on a archaeological site called Liang Bua, in the year 2003. The scientists named those tiny human ancestors, who were no taller then a 4-year-old child, Homo Floriensis, but because of their small size, they are widely called "hobbits". There are many theories about these strange humans. Some scientists believed that they were just a dwarfed size of modern human beings, who suffered from a disease called microcephary, which causes the brain and the head size to diminish. However, careful studies, and scans of the skull showed no sign of illness whatsoever. Another theory is that the hobbits evoloved from the Homo Erectus, but that they were affected by island dwarfism. That is an evolutionary process, that happened to a lot of living things on islands back then, because of the lack of resources.
A stunning thing about hobbits is that they had very small brains, the size of the austrlopithicus aferensis Lucy, but they created magnificent, complex tools. Some of those tools were implements fro digging and butchering their prey and stone points to  fix wooden spears.
The skeleton of a hobit that was found had a chin and cheeks that stuck out, and the wrists were more arranged like an ape's then a human's. This hobbit also had long and flat feet, and it was 4 times stronger then an average human today! Most scientists believe that the hobbits lived from 38,000 to 18,000 years ago. Some also believe that they were alive even 12, 000 years ago!
This species of our ancestors is very new to us, and there are a lot of things that we do not know about them. To find out more, we need more then just one hobbit skeleton...
