The Hobbit hits the headlines again, but is the mystery of its origins really solved?

It’s been the scientific equivalent of a never ending soap opera. The pygmy human species Homo floresiensis (aka ‘the Hobbit’), discovered in 2003 in a cave on the island of Flores, has been bogged down in a mire of controversy for almost 15 years.Is it a new human species or just a diseased Homo sapiens? If it’s a new kind of human, where does it fit into the evolutionary tree? How old is it?
