Resumen de Hobbit may be migrant kin of Homo habilis
The origins of the mysterious, tiny Homo floresiensis, aka the hobbit, are up in the air once again. New research suggests it evolved from a hominin that was the first to ever venture out of Africa. The most comprehensive analysis of the remains so far suggests a mystery ancestor that lived in Africa over 2 million years ago. Some members of this ancestral group remained there and evolved into Homo habilis, one of the first makers of stone tools. The others left Africa about 2 million years ago, before H. erectus did, and arrived in Flores at least 700,000 years ago.
