Human Hobbits

A quick overview of the disputed species Homo floresiensis.

Note that this article is published in the journal PLoS Biology (Public Library of Science) which was started a few years back as a completely open source journal. Open source means that anyone can access the data in the journal freely. This is one example of a broader movement in society to decouple the publisher's control over content that they did not generate. User-defined control is only possible when the cost barrier to distribution is low. And it has become ultra-low with the Internet. So support user-defined control of content and surf through the PLoS sets of journals...they have some cool science stuff in there - the most approachable for the lay person is PLoS Biology.
