A good deal more study has been done on the remains of ancient man-like creatures found on an Indonesian island in 2003 -- informally called "hobbits" because they are so small, though they obviously used tools. Study of the foot, which is not as adapted for upright walking as human feet, suggest that it was not a homo sapiens or homo erectus that shrank over time as can happen with species confined to islands, but branched off from the neanderthal and homo sapiens/homo erectus lines. But they're human enough that they've been named Homo floresiensis.
Just thought it was interesting in case you hadn't seen the story.
