A new small-bodied hominin from the Late Pleistocene of Flores, Indonesia
- P. Brown, T. Sutikna, +4 authors R. A. Due
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 28 October 2004
Currently, it is widely accepted that only one hominin genus, Homo, was present in Pleistocene Asia, represented by two species, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. Both species are characterized by… Expand
The Brain of LB1, Homo floresiensis
- D. Falk, C. Hildebolt, +7 authors F. Prior
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 8 April 2005
The brain of Homo floresiensis was assessed by comparing a virtual endocast from the type specimen (LB1) with endocasts from great apes, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens, a human pygmy, a human… Expand
Further evidence for small-bodied hominins from the Late Pleistocene of Flores, Indonesia
- M. Morwood, P. Brown, +8 authors T. Djubiantono
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 13 October 2005
Homo floresiensis was recovered from Late Pleistocene deposits on the island of Flores in eastern Indonesia, but has the stature, limb proportions and endocranial volume of African Pliocene… Expand
The Primitive Wrist of Homo floresiensis and Its Implications for Hominin Evolution
- M. Tocheri, C. Orr, +7 authors W. Jungers
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 21 September 2007
Whether the Late Pleistocene hominin fossils from Flores, Indonesia, represent a new species, Homo floresiensis, or pathological modern humans has been debated. Analysis of three wrist bones from the… Expand
Age and biostratigraphic significance of the Punung Rainforest Fauna, East Java, Indonesia, and implications for Pongo and Homo.
- K. Westaway, M. Morwood, +8 authors J. de Vos
- Geology, Medicine
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 December 2007
The Punung Fauna is a key component in the biostratigraphic sequence of Java. It represents the most significant faunal turnover on the island in the last 1.5 million years, when Stegodon and other… Expand
Revised stratigraphy and chronology for Homo floresiensis at Liang Bua in Indonesia
- T. Sutikna, M. Tocheri, +18 authors R. Roberts
- History, Medicine
- Nature
- 21 April 2016
Homo floresiensis, a primitive hominin species discovered in Late Pleistocene sediments at Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia), has generated wide interest and scientific debate. A major reason this taxon… Expand
Homo floresiensis: a cladistic analysis.
- D. Argue, M. Morwood, T. Sutikna, Jatmiko, E. W. Saptomo
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 November 2009
The announcement of a new species, Homo floresiensis, a primitive hominin that survived until relatively recent times is an enormous challenge to paradigms of human evolution. Until this… Expand
Continuities in stone flaking technology at Liang Bua, Flores, Indonesia.
- M. Moore, T. Sutikna, Jatmiko, M. Morwood, A. Brumm
- Geography, Medicine
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 November 2009
This study examines trends in stone tool reduction technology at Liang Bua, Flores, Indonesia, where excavations have revealed a stratified artifact sequence spanning 95k.yr. The reduction sequence… Expand
Craniofacial morphology of Homo floresiensis: description, taxonomic affinities, and evolutionary implication.
- Y. Kaifu, H. Baba, +6 authors T. Djubiantono
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 December 2011
This paper describes in detail the external morphology of LB1/1, the nearly complete and only known cranium of Homo floresiensis. Comparisons were made with a large sample of early groups of the… Expand
Brain shape in human microcephalics and Homo floresiensis
- D. Falk, C. Hildebolt, +7 authors F. Prior
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 13 February 2007
Because the cranial capacity of LB1 (Homo floresiensis) is only 417 cm3, some workers propose that it represents a microcephalic Homo sapiens rather than a new species. This hypothesis is difficult… Expand
