Scoot on over to The Loom for the latest details on the brain of Homo floresiensis. The results from a detailed CT-scan of the skull of the fossil hominid are in, and they are very interesting. The short answer: the brain of the hobbit most closely resembles that of Homo erectus and does not look like the brain of a microcephalic, but it does have its own peculiarities. Read Carl's story for all of the details.
