- Who are hobbits, Hobbits are little people that are the hight of a four you old and they might have lived 1 million years ago, 3 million years ago or 12,000 years ago all of these presuppositions are by scientist and archeologists. In 2003, paleontologists went into a cave called Liang Bua on an island of Flores in Indonesia and found evidence of a population of tiny ancestral humans.
- Scientists say that the tiny people suffered from microcphaly, a genetic disorder that produces an abnormally small brain and head. The hobbits had a wrist like an apes, there shoulder blades shrug slightly forward, feet long and flat.
- So as you can see hobbits might have been really smart like the Homo sapiens.

Hobbits!!!!!
Who are Hobbits?
Tool making and Language!
Why was tool making and language important for the development of human culture?
- Language and culture was important to us and the people of the past because with out language we wouldn't be able to talk and share our feeling with each other, if we didn't have language i think it be really weird and really hard to communicate. Language developed because it gave us the chance to talk, to discus and to argue or show your point of view, like with the Homo erectus they had a way to communicate and so they became closer and the way the became closer was because of fire, will they waited for the meal to wait they talked between one another. With tool making people were able to hunt, cut, break and other stuff. When we first got tools we used them to hunt animals and to cut them up so they could eat them. But now we use different type of tools like forks or knifes and spoons we mostly use these tools more then the spears and sharp rocks. But if we didn't have tools i think all of us would be dead because back with the Homo erectus and the others if they didn't have tools and fire i think they would have gotten attacked by the bigger animals and killed all of us and then we would have never got to this stage in life.

Hominids and why the started to walk!
Why did early humans begin to walk?
There are tons of reasons why they started to walk and i will run you through a couple of them,
There are tons of reasons why they started to walk and i will run you through a couple of them,
- So early humans first lived in the forest of Africa where they walked on fours but after a while the forest started to change to long grass and desert, so the early humans thought it might be easier if they could look over the grass and see in there are any predators or to see in theres food or not. Scientist say early humans started to try standing up in the forest and after the forest changed they used the two legs.
- Another theory is a sexual related one, scientist think that early human changed to impress the females because the men could stand up and they looked cooler, they also think they changed because they could carry more for the females because when the females have the baby the men go out for food, so with the ability to walk on two legs they could carry more and they could reach for higher thing like apples in the trees.
- Another theory is that they got the two legs so that the could move across the savanna and they could move fast a go across more ground in a faster period, but some scientist disagree with this and they say on four legs you can move faster because a horse it has four legs and it moves a lot faster then a human and horses are better climber up mountains then humans. So scientists are arguing over this, but i think it is better to have two legs because we can move better around rocks and we can walk faster over the rocks then a horse
