The Australian media are doing a fantastic job of keeping up with the developments with Homo floresiensis. Here’s the first three-dimensional reconstruction I’ve seen of the little hominid, made by an Australian archaeologist. It’s published on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s web site. I’m sure that as more bones emerge, the image will improve, but this is still a wonderful first look.
