Cryptozoologist Finds

'Does Homo floresiensis count as a cryptid discovery?'

Age of Homo floresiensis fossils has been re-evaluated last year, and they are much older than the modern human colonization of the island. So perhaps this is another cautionary tale?

The redating was criticised by John Hawks, besides I believe lithics are continuous in the archaeological record there till the Hoabinhian industry arrives. Don't forget the stone tools from eastern Indonesia were already part of a debate about hominin presence in Wallacea and very early watercraft. And besides no reason to suppose they died out before H. s turns up, if the rest of the fauna didn't.
