Seafaring Elephants, Komodo Dragons, and Little People

Paleoanthropologists have found the remains of a new species of early human on a remote Indonesian island.

They were all about three feet tall with very small heads.

They hunted giant lizards and pygmy elephants the size of buffalo.

(Apparently elephants are good swimmers. No, really. And no, they became pygmy elephants after they arrived on the island.)

What more is there to say?

Any word about fossilized pipe-weed?
