      I was thinking the same thing- a story I heard during my childhood from my neighbors who I spent time with during the summer months. Thanks for rekindling this happy memory further. Also, I definitely think there is a connection. Most "myths" are based in one of two truths- either evidence of a real occurrence or a moral universal truth. And often the real occurrence is mixed with a moral slant. I can only hope science begins to take these stories or myths more seriously.

    For me, just as fascinating as the Hobbit is the rapid fire debate over exactly what it is. From hints of a fraud, to the idea that it was suffering some medical condition, to all the various theories of it's lineage. Patience has not been in abundance with researchers stumbling all over themselves to figure the little folk out. My favorite is the conclusions such as when it died out. Just because nothing younger has been found, doesn't mean it isn't out there. This is new....we'll find out much more.

      Junjadee are the little hairy people about 4 feet tall that according to the indigenous people of Australia are real. They inhabit the mountainous forests and according to many tribes of the Aboriginal people along the Great Dividing Range they have been around for thousands of years. Their oral histories state that they were here before them. The aborigines have been in Australia for at least 50,000 years and migrated to this continent through SE Asia and would have passed Flores on the way down crossing the Wallace line. Perhaps these pygmy hominids still survive in the dense tropical and temperate forests of Queensland, New South Wales and as far south as Victoria.

    • @FrikInCasualMode
      @FrikInCasualMode 3 роки тому +25

      Not necessarily "wiped". I think in many cases being better organized, more efficiently communicating and using more diverse and advanced tools was enough to simply outcompete local groups of earlier humans. Consider this: so far only Homo sapiens sapiens were found to widely use specialized fishing equipment. Harpoons, nets, fish hooks. That alone would be a huge advantage, giving our ancestors a significant boost in food intake. Which meant more surviving children, healthier and stronger adults and decreased risk of starvation if hunting or gathering failed to bring enough food. Especially, y'know - on an island like Flores. Where already limited habitats would be quickly filled by rapidly breeding Homo sapiens groups, leaving less and less hunting grounds, water access or good shelters for 'hobbits'.
      From evolutionary point of view our ancestors *were* better and fitter. Thus they survived, while 'hobbits' died out.
