A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Debate over Flores hobbits continues
I’m definitely not an evolutionary biologist or paleontologist, but it seems to me, the claim that the Flores hobbit fossils of Indonesia are a new species is, at the least, sounding more reasonable than before. With both teeth and wrist structure representing a lineage that did not come from Homo sapiens, it would seem, and dwarfism from island isolation looking less likely, it seems the “anti-species” side has more water to carry.
