'Tiny new species of human unearthed' The remains of a tiny and hitherto unknown species of human that lived as recently as 13,000 years ago have been discovered on an Indonesian island. Read the full story
This is pretty cool I reckon. They found some remains of a smaller breed of human who lived at the same time as our sort. Which is fascinating. But the thing that got me thinking the most was the quote from Bernard Wood, an anthropologist at George Washington University in Washington DC: "It is literally jaw-dropping". He's presumably been doing his job for a fair while, and is involved in one of the biggest finds in the last 50 years, and he goes and drops the skull! Bloody moron.
