DESCRIPTION:The Indonesian "Hobbit" discovery announced in fall 2004 unlea
 shed a\nflurry of mass media coverage and speculation.  Last week\, a team
  of\narchaeologists reported the discovery of putative human footprints in
 \nMexico that would push American (pre)history back some 25\,000 years.\nH
 ow much of what we see and hear is hype\, and how much is real science?\nW
 hat do we know now about human evolution that we didn't a year ago?  I\nwi
 ll discuss the scientific impact of these finds\, focusing especially\non 
 the "new" Flores hominid.
