[@XxXLilKitsunexx]

Gwapito The DNA analysis confirmed it as a subspecies of human. We are modern humans therefor the old bones that were found can be tested and compared to our own DNA, which shows us that their DNA appears similar to our own. In layman’s terms, that is how the process of verifying a species is carried out. Just because wooly mammoths are extinct doesn’t mean that they didn’t exist. For example, because of DNA analysis and preserved remains we are able to identify the animal as an early relative of the elephants we are familiar with today. This is the general concept used to identify links between modern and extinct species.

These humanoid species evolved from Philippines. Filipinos Austronesians evolved from Philippines and spread out to Polynesia and some SE Asia, even Madagascar. I support multiregionalism vs Out of Africa Theory.

The small bone belongs to a duwende or somthing else

[@radhesyamaji]

Good but the news doesnt tell when the finger bone was found.

[@KingDecahedron]

you found a golf tee - congratulations

[@filipjanusz4798]

Very interesting video! Thumbs up for it. It is a super petty comment, but... Why do you use unscientific units? Why feet, not meters or centimetres?

[@LardGreystoke]

I was sorry because I had no shoes Until I met a man who had no feet.

@Juno Donat why does my belief in God hurt you? Since you think I'm wrong, you should love it since it makes you superior...according to you. How do you know Earth wasn't created millions of years ago by God? Do you think our ancestors days and hours were the same as now?

[@stephsmanicshenanigans8017]

Just naming new species instead of tying said species to the other similar ones found around the world. Because they couldn’t possibly have travelled long distances 🙄 and one tooth being the difference to say it’s a whole new species? Seriously?

[@VernonChitlen]

@Stable Genius I would think it would be Phillip as in Philippines Phil...Or did they find evidence of a dinosaur herding license what they suspected was forged. Since there couldn't probably might not of been dinosaurs then or dinosaur is a modern term? Or did a creationist find the 22 cm piece of what looks like papyrus from what looks like ancient Id cards that would have identified him as Dave? But can't depend on the veracity of any creationists? Hope the scientific naturalists call in a really good neo darwinist artist to render an almost exactly detailed, perfect artists conception that they know most likely was Dave's id found 12 miles away..Obviously Daves, right?

[@jadedshinobi7904]

wow, the scientist discovered *Filipinos*

[@hyacinthax]

What the video said: It's likely that we've dicovered a new species of the genus homo. *What people heard*: Your forefathers were 4 feet tall. We're homo sapiens. Assuming Luzonensis is indeed a new species, its a off-branch from our actual lineage, not our ancestors.

so appenntly that last small person they found. The hobbit. There was some asshat scientist who for some reason is still respected in his field who basially broke the skeleton

[@generalities5839]

...?

So...teeth. As usual this is what we make rediculous claims on. They find some Filipino childrens' resting place, and say it's a new species...

So The Hobbit and the dwarfs is real?

[@rdcyoutubediary]

That is what I thought. By this discovery, maybe. Hobbits... I think it could be possible that Tolkien learned about it before naming and using it in his book. My meaning was that, it could be that the his 'Hobbits' were only inspired by the 'Hobbits' in the video.

[@maayongaga729]

Your hobbit are the tarsier. Maybe we started like a tarsier, big eyes, small climb the trees.
