When you take this discovery and put it alongside the Indonesian hobbits, it really makes you realise that the text book accounts can no longer stand as orthodox dogma. New research is also telling us that perhaps we came out of Asia and not Africa.

Everything just has to be labelled "Maybe" or "In light of current research" Anyone who clings to the comfort blanket of scientific absolutes and reckons that they have got the plot sussed are in for a few more shocks along the way. I'm waiting for the first dowsed discovery of a fossilised saurian space helmet.
