document.write('(<i>Wiley-Blackwell</i>) Researchers from Stony Brook University Medical Center in New York have confirmed that Homo floresiensis is a genuine ancient human species and not a descendant of healthy humans dwarfed by disease.  Using statistical analysis on skeletal remains of a well-preserved female specimen, researchers determined the \"hobbit\" to be a distinct species and not a genetically flawed version of modern humans.  Details of the study appear in the December issue of Significance, the magazine of the Royal Statistical Society, published by Wiley-Blackwell.');
