Ashley Hay has done a fine job sorting through the myriad conflicting claims relating to the discovery of Homo floresiensis, AKA the Hobbit. One point of clarification, though: while she correctly states that I have been involved in the production of a documentary film on the Flores find, I am only part of a team. The initial research, and the earlier films that led to five international broadcasters backing the project, was entirely the work of Annamaria Talas. Annamaria and I will soon complete what is very much a joint effort, which will be seen by Australian viewers on the ABC sometime later this year. All we can say is that the little creature turns out to be more fascinating than anyone might have imagined.
