Abstract
Two reports of human remains have been in the news lately. The first is a group of small skeletons that were found on the South Pacific island of Flores, Indonesia, with the most complete skeleton being that of a female designated Liang Bua, abbreviated LB1, after the name of the cave in which her skeleton was found.1 The excavation in this cave was sponsored in large part by the National Geographic magazine. The second is a partial cranium from Olorgesailie in the Eastern Great Rift Valley, Kenya, Africa, from a dig sponsored in part by the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.
