A couple of years ago, anthropologists reported finding the skulls of small, hobbit-sized inhabitants of an island in Indonesia. Now it turns out that may have been the victims of a genetic disease.

Steve Connor writes in the Independent that new studies reveal that this race, which lived on a remote island in Indonesia around 18,000 years ago, probably had microcephaly, which is a genetic condition that leads to a small brain. If these people were isolated on a remote island, they would have interbred and passed around any defective genes in the population.

Some people think that aliens are as fanciful as hobbits, while other people disagree, usually because they have had personal experiences with them.
