If we discuss the origin of humans, of course we will discuss a lot about ancient humans. Species-related research ancient human and the origin continues to be done by archaeologists to study the history of human life.
Evidence of signs of life by early humans continues to be traced by archaeologists. However, did you know that the archaeologists found signs of early human life on Flores Island?
Come on, look at the following information quoting from IFL Science.
Early Human Species on Flores
In 2003, archaeologists searched for evidence of modern human migration from Asia to Australia.
Then archaeologists found a fairly complete small skeleton of an extinct human species, Homo floresiensis or known as ‘the Hobbit’ on the island of Flores, Indonesia.
This species is still relatively new, having a discovery age of about 12,000 years. However, a retired professor of anthropology from the University of Alberta says there is evidence that the survival of the Hobbit species has been neglected.
This research into the Hobbits led the professor to a possibility ancient human this species is still alive today.
Another possibility put forward by the professor is that the Hobbit is still alive in human memory today if it turns out that the Hobbit species has been extinct.
Discovery of Ape Man on Flores
Through the book Between Ape and Human, Gregory Forth expressed his opinion that paleontologists and scientists had neglected indigenous knowledge regarding the appearance of ape humans living in the forests of Flores.
It is known that the sighting was witnessed by more than 30 pairs of eyes, each of whom he personally interviewed.
The scientific explanation for these sightings is that early Hobbit humans are still alive today and surviving on Flores.
He also wrote that local folk zoology by the Lio tribe who inhabit the island tells of the appearance of humans who turn into animals when they move and adapt to new environments.
However, the Lio tribe identified this creature as an animal. This is because they do not have a complex language or technology like that of humans. As well as other differences that are owned by these creatures.
Nevertheless these creatures still have similarities with humans. The similarities that appear are that these creatures can stand upright and walk on two legs and are relatively hairy creatures.
The discovery of these similarities adds to the confusion of the Lio tribe about the existence of these creatures.
Unfortunately, reports of animals suspected of being the species Homo floresiensis are often ignored by some scientists.
Even so, several witnesses had the opportunity to observe the creature more closely because the creature was found dead.
Currently, the only knowledge that scientists have regarding these early humans of this species is that they were still alive around 50,000 years ago.
But Forth continues to urge that the knowledge possessed by the natives be included in further research regarding this creature. As an explanation of the sightings seen by the Lio tribe.
Other evidence found also adds to the suspicion that the species Homo floresiensis still alive until about 100 years ago. The Lio tribe themselves believe in apparitions of the creatures they see.
