'Human hobbit' of the lost world discovered

The bones of 'Human Hobbits' of the lost world have been uncovered on a remote island once populated by giant lizards and miniature elephants.

A 3ft tall "hobbit" uncovered on the Indonesian island of Flores has raised the extraordinary possibility that our human species might not be alone on Earth.

The female creature has been identified as a completely new member of the human race. But, although she lived 18,000 years ago, scientists believe her relatives survived for thousands more years on the island.
