God, I bet physical anthropologists just hate when people use titles like “More news from the Shire” for blog entries about Homo floresiensis. Anyway, I wish I'd been at the AAPAs this year (via, again). It must have been pretty intense. I imagine that this was one of those “boisterous” conferences my professors were always talking about. It'll be interesting to see how this whole thing turns out.

On a related note, John Hawks blogged last week on Peter Brown's response to claims that LB 1 has a filling. That appears to be basically resolved; as Hawks said, “That's enough to convince me.”

By the way, in addition to the two posts I just linked to, Hawks has an extensive archive of posts on H. floresiensis. You know, in case you're curious.
