Does this mean that H. Floresiensis is just an unconfirmed ape that just happened to use caves where modern humans left artifacts?

So hobbits are cannibals, eh? I always suspected as much.

A normal sized gorilla ended up on Flores once and the Ebu Gogo called it Kong.

"One of the village elders told us that the Ebu Gogo ate everything raw, including vegetables, fruits, meat and, if they got the chance, even human meat."

Note, all the bones were 'sequestered' (my term) by local authorities and thus can't be confirmed…or denied. How convenient.

You said it, "convenient".

I guess that, while North America has "Bigfoot", Flores has what could be called "Littlefoot"? :)
