I had to go back to the hobbit man because i keep re-reading it and finding new gems. Here are a few of my favorite quotes:

“The hobbit was nobody’s fool”

“Both the tiny humans and the dwarfed elephants appear to have become extinct at about the same time as the result of a major volcanic eruption.”

“Homo floresiensis is an addition to the short list of other human species that lived at the same time as modern humans.”

“The blades, perforators, points, and other cutting and chopping utensils were apparently used to hunt big game.”

Only if J.R.R Tolkien was alive to know that he created a term that would define scientific exploration for the 21st century. This last one is an ACTUAL researcher and scientist:

“So there was temporal overlap between the hobbits and ourselves from at least 40,000 years ago until at least 18,000 years ago—more than 20,000 years minimum.” -Richard Roberts, a geochronologist at the University of Wollongong, Australia

I’d like to add my own commentary to each quote, but right now…words can’t describe my joy
