Perhaps some radioactive isotopic dating of the tooth enamel will shed light on the age of the fossils. I am particularly curious about how old these remains are.
Both the circumstances of the disposition of these fossils, and the stone tools associated with homo florensis hint at the possibility that we have greatly overestimated the importance of brain size upon the evolution of what had long been thought of as distinguishing cognitive capability and behaviors of higher hominids.
