My guess is that researchers have not been able to obtain good DNA samples from the Flores hobbit. But it's something I'll look into. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Can I leave you with a question to investigate? Why haven't we been seeing any DNA testing of homo florsiensis, the Flores hobbit, to establish its relationship to us? It seems an obvious line of investigation that would put the anatomical arguments to rest. I’m looking forward to reading your blog, Erin. Can I leave you with a question to investigate?

I will be alert for future posts. Perhaps most reading this blog have already seen it, but I highly recommend the National Museum of Natural History's exhibit on Human Origins. It is fantastic.
