Yes, that little hobbit person was really cute and interesting. I am much more interested, personally, in reading about anthropology/archaeology than almost anything, X, but have trouble finding anyone to talk to about these subjects. I was watching a Discovery (I think) channel program last week about Clovis spear points in the Americas, and archaeologists were taking different positions about whether it was really possible that some of them are 25,000 years old. The program also discussed the new DNA technology, and seemed to trace the early Americans back to a tribe in Spain who may have migrated here by boat thousands of years before the people who came across the land bridge from Asia arrived. If you are following the Clovis controversy, you would know that the science of archaeology is very conservative, and most archaeologists are extremely reluctant to even consider that the Americans were populated before about 11,000 years ago, even though much older sites have clearly been identified by radio carbon dating.
