Indonesia boasts beautiful Bali, but what else does this southeast Asian island claim for its fame? Only in 2003 did an Indonesian-Australian team of archaeologists discover a little (no pun intended) revelation – the remains of nine human bodies that were only about 3.3 feet tall. Research shows that these “hobbits” would have weighed about 55 pounds at full size. Seeing as these inhabitants of ancient Indonesia date back 13,000 years, this finding has been called the most spectacular find in paleoanthropology in half a century.
