印尼佛罗雷斯岛哈比人不是智人

BBC报道,根据今天刊登的最新研究报告,1万5000年前左右在印尼佛罗雷斯岛绝种的矮人不是智人,而是不同物种,这个说法引起人类学界的热烈讨论。 因为身材矮小而有「哈比人」之称的佛罗雷斯人化石,在2003年于佛罗雷斯岛(Flores)出土。

 自此之后,有关他们到底是属于未知的早期人类分支,还是现代人因疾病而导致的畸形怪人等,引发热烈争辩。 研究人员表示,根据头盖骨分析的新研究显示,佛罗雷斯人确定不是智人。 在此之前,学术研究指向不同方向,且科学披露不时倾向尖酸刻薄。 

BBC新闻说,其中一个学派认为,所谓的佛罗雷斯人是直立人的后代,历经数百个世代后变得越来越矮小。 这个过程称为「岛屿侏儒化」(insular dwarfing),也就是低海平面时期陆桥出现,成为动物迁徙的通道,结果海平面上升后,它们被困在岛屿上。如果食物供应量减少,它们的体型就会逐渐变小。 成年哈比人站立时身高只有100公分,体重约25公斤。

 BBC NEWS 说,但另一派研究人员则认为,佛罗雷斯人是现代人,他们体型矮小和大脑比葡萄柚还小是因为遗传异常。
