An excavation on the island of Flores, Indonesia resulted in the discovery of a human skeleton resembles just that height and shape are also only a third human.
From here there are two conclusions to be drawn, whether it is true that there is a race whose lifestyles are different from ordinary people and known as the hobbit, or is it due to a problem related to growth in humans such as microcephaly (disorders or abnormalities of growth).
