We’ll know more once the original research team gets back to the caves in Flores. Hard to believe, but their work was halted by the Indonesian government at one point. Of course, I have a vested interest in hoping this story has some validity to it ,having written a fictional novel on the find.

This conclusion did not need fundamental(genetic) nor archeologic proof, since it already arose from my ethnological studies from the mid 80's, which showed that half of the earth population shouted insults, whereas the other half was shouting inarticulate, idiotic sounds.
