Q: Who were the hobbits?

By radiocarbon dating in lab scientists analyzed that this specie is a modern specie named Homo Floresiensis or nicknamed "Hobbits". In 2003, paleontologists discovered a tiny population in a cave called Liang Bua located in the island of Flores, Indonesia. Once these skulls were radiocarbon-dated scientists found that the skulls resemble something dead million years ago however these modern humans were much intelligent. Archaeologists ask "Why are these species intelligent", back then education hardly existed. They probably became smarter when generations changed. These species lived at a time of 38,000-18,000 however some say they lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. Hobbits were tiny species because they dwell in an island without limited resources. Island dwarfing was a well known evolutionary process whereby species living on isolated islands became smaller over time due to limited resources.
Although they were small we could comment that intelligence led to advanced civilization back then (ex. They had complex tools).
