Canie...I'm really excited about this story, and was disappointed that it was not on CNN at 6 PM, ABC National news, or French news. It is the most exciting science story that I have seen in years. Hey, if you were hanging out with them you would be too big, you'd be smacking your head on their cave roof, catching yourself on vine above their little jungle paths, etc. Since I spent all that time on the California Islands, I read about the preference to be about the size of a breadbox...hence, giant extinct mice, dwarf mammoths (oxymoron), and now, these guys. For those of you who have never met me, I have a tiny head, with a brain cavity the size of a grapefruit, so I would never make fun of homo florensis or whatever they are/were. Reminds me of a joke about a little head, but I won't go there. Chris
