Homo floresiensis at last

[nachodocavo]

 !0 years ago, after my degree in Etnography, travel and study for another 18 years, aobuot human Origin, I published a book in Spain  entitled De vuelta a la cueva, (Back to the cave in english) SM Editions Grup. where I explained that the theory of man' s long journey started in Africa and his spread all around  the continents had many paradojas, Paradoxes, becuase that theory does not explain the presence of several asian tribes still alives, as the aetas in Philipinnes, onge in Andaman, semang in malaysiia, and some others. In this book I guessed that probably in a few years or maybe in 100 years.. a great discovery will took place in the Indico area showing that there is another step in the origins of the homo sapiens.  and suddenly   Homo floresiensis appears!!!!!!!  Just ten years later..   to say from depth of time  that our ancestor could have started in Asia his long, long journey...  anybody agree with this.. anybody interested... I can showhim-her the proof....

hello nachodocavo - I didn't want you to suppose no one was interested. It is always exciting to us pizza delivery boys when something turns up that makes the experts jump. This is such a discovery. I hope any scientific findings in respect of this wonderful discovery will not be skewed to align with fashionable theories or simply downplayed or side-lined.
It is a dreamy notion I know, but wouldn't it be terrific if Homo floresiensis had lingered on into present time in small colonies in the area, say as that fabled forest-dweller, Orang Pendek?
Strange that this big surprise came during that same blink of geological time as the (supposed) great ape progenitor find in Spain. Is it unreasonable to hope for a hat-trick (that is, a third amazing and unexpected find relating to human lineage)?

Hi Nachodocavo !
 
What sort of paradoxes are you talking about ? Are all these tribes short people ? Is their height your argument to connect them with the newer discovery ?
Perhaps to blame the nazi “biologists”, the antiracist dogma is actually  (and I morally agree) that we all are sapiens, and that we all have the same ancestors. That is the model of replacement, I think. Does your proposition become integrated into the very interesting reticular model of Weidenreich and Templeton ? How conciliate the gene flow that homogenize the species sapiens and the regional continuity ? (I suppose that the tribes you talk about are supposed to be in regional continuity with Homo floresiensis) Has science to free itself from ethics and from politically correct thinking ? Since a few years, lamarckism is no more a lyssenkoid heresy condemned by maccarthysts disguised in darwinists. It’s another debate. Do you think that floresiensis and sapiens interbred ? They have to do it when they weren’t to much into their speciation. Now for the replacement model, sapiens and floresiensis were too parted (because after the speciation of ergaster and erectus). Your proposition has to integrate into the multiregional model, I suppose.
