The discovery of human remains of tiny status and with little brain on the Indonesian island Flores in the year 2003 has been a sensation. It is moreover likely, that this new human species, Homo floresiensis (nickname “hobbits”), has lived recently unto 12’000 years ago. The fascinating discovering of this new human species can be seen here.

We present a video-simulation of what the life of the hobbits might have been like. Has there been coexistence between Homo floresiensis and Homo sapiens?
