Flores Man: The Compilation

The latest word about Flores is that a scientific examination of the wrist bones suggests that the little hominid is not closely related to anatomically modern humans, or neanderthals, but may be to Homo erectus or maybe even Australopithecus. I can't even come close to making a judgment call on the latest data, so here are some links to some of my colleagues' recent bloggings, who can.

• Homo floresiensis' primitive wrist, Kambiz on Anthropology.net (24 Sept 2007)
• Primitive Wrist Bones Suggest Stronger Evidence For 'Hobbit' As New Species, Tim Jones on Remote Central (22 Sept 2007)
• Liang Bua Report, John Hawks (10 August 2007)
• A new human, PZ Myers on Pharyngula (26 July 2007
• Ancient DNA profile, John Hawks (27 June 2007)

I've also put together a bibliography of Flores, which some of you may find useful.
