More Hobbit Updates

Slashdot linked up a new development in the "Flores Hobbit" discoveries. A team investigating ancient climate change in the region last year discovered a second chamber below the known cave where the strange human remains were found. A cursory exploration of the sinkhole revealed a very large number of bones and other debris, some with obvious butcher marks. It's hoped that hobbit remains are mixed in with the rest, and that these better-preserved bones may yield viable DNA samples. If those can be found, many scientists seem confident the mystery of these creatures will be definitively solved.
