Most folks generally care about the fossils themselves and not the background behind how these discoveries are made. But this one is quite the story.

5:25 artisticas son unos Sweetlovee.Monster muchas y un buen ejercicio. Saludos desdei la Cd. de world 🌹😉💖
I heard some people think the hobbits are still alive, hiding somewhere deep in the Indonesian jungles
It's a very good thing Indonesia lost control of East Timor. They committed genocide there and when they left wrecked as much of the country as they could.
Politics..it sullies everything…
Thank you! That is a really great story! I read about it at the time, but you give it some life. Have they ever been able to get DNA from Homo Floresiensis? By the way, what are the white numbers that pop up periodically and out of order in the corner of your screen?
You make really high quality content and you have a talent for providing relevant context and building an engaging story. You deserve a larger audience and I hope this comment helps.
Great video! I thought I knew this story, but you had a lot of great details and images I've never seen.
Amazing channel!
They were ultimately dated to 50-60k years ago? I forget the ultimate date.
But I love the legends of Ebu gogo and Orang Pendek on neighboring island
Very well presented
Amazingly done!
Everything Riley does is excellent! He is one of the best verbal presenters I've ever heard. The context is well laid out. The content is always compelling!
This is a fantastic, nuanced overview of a very complex story— very well done! Thanks for putting this out!
Wow! Great video, my good sir!
Officially soothing enough to compete with Lore for bedtime listens
It's pronounced Wool-n-Gong (wool as in what's on a sheep's back). A friend of mine ran the Mass Spec at Wollongong Uni and ran the samples that dated the find.
Lies and you should be ashamed to make such fake stuff everything on this video is false and lies.
imagine if the host was a Homo Floresiensis
Flores is an island straight out of a fantasy novel
Great video, classy production. Glad to be here for the start of a great channel!
When are we going to feel comfortable enough to admit that Pygmies are a sub species of homosapiens..
I'm loving the up in audio quality lately! Keep up the good work
So far these are my favorite species and I think they are fascinating!
