More reflections on the discovery of Homo floresienses...

SMH, 30 Oct 2004:



"Dr Henry Gee, a senior editor at Nature, says the find has startling implications for the common view that we rule the Earth by virtue of inherent perfection or divine fiat. "The uniqueness of our human lineage is something we have all grown up with. It is the foundation of our religion, our ethics and even our science that humanity has been isolated, is a single species, and has been for a very long time," he says in The Guardian. "This find challenges that."





For what this whole scientific hullabaloo is all about, Otterman's blog has it pretty nicely summed up.
