Assignment:
“Remains Found of Downsized Human Species” reports that “once upon a time, on a tropical island midway between Asia and Australia, there lived a race of little people whose adults stood just 3.5 feet high.”15 The adult female skeleton discovered in 2003 was small enough to warrant identification as a new human species, called Homo floresiensis after the island of Flores where it was discovered. The skeleton’s height can be put in perspective by considering that pygmies’ heights have approximate mean 54 inches and standard deviation 2 inches. Would 3.5 feet (42 inches) be improbably low by these standards?
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
