Aragorn and Frodo? The skull to the left is from a newly discovered humanoid species, dubbed "the hobbit" because full grown it was the size of a three-year-old. How they know it's not a skeleton of a three-year-old, I don't know.

oh, oh oh... I know the answer to why its "not" a 3 year old... probably because there are 3rd molars surfacing and because the cranial sutures are really not as visible as they would be in a less developed human. I knew the anthro class would come in handy... 4 credits of work so that I can blog intelligently.. - Megan

PS. The pictures of "hobbits" in our books were riding elephants and furry mammoth type things... it was really funny. - Megan
