Many aspects of this find are puzzling, including its small stature and brain, which is about the size of those of australopithecines such as Lucy's. The brain of H. floresiensis, now estimated at 417 cubic centimeters, is most like that of a small H. erectus, but also has some differences, including a derived frontal lobe and an expanded temporal lobe. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/content/vol308/issue5719/twis.shtml " target="blank">www.sciencemag.org/content/vol308/issue5719/twis.shtml </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
