Homo floresiensis—have divided scientists into two camps. While some believe the remains are the bones of a modern human with a disorder that results in a smaller-than-average skull, others see them as evidence of a newly discovered species in the genus
Homo that lived among modern humans and survived until as recently as 12,000 years ago. What arguments have been raised by both sides?
