Dr. Palmer, I found this article while looking for background information on flores people.

The article explores the similarities and differences between the flores people, modern humans, and early fossils such as Lucy. It also investigates several pieces of evidence which indicate that the hobbit is in fact a new human species, as well as several possible explanations from critics of this idea. Microcephaly, a rare condition in which the brain is shrunken and the body dwarfed, is one explanation offered by skeptics, however, a second skull similar to the first was discovered last year and seems to discredit the claim of a disease.
