Who were the hobbitts?

 The hobbits are our ancestors that lived 12000 years ago. They are our youngest ancestors. The hobbits are as tall as a 4 year old child and they lived in the Island Flores in Indonesia. They had two names, the scientific name homo floresiensis and the common name, the hobbits. The TV gave the common name to the hobbits because they look like the small people from the book Lord of the Rings. These ancestors didn't have a chin. They had a small brain and made tools. One of the best conserved hobbits was a 30 years old woman. She didn't have a chin, she had long and flat feet and walked with the shoulders slightly shrunk forwards. Even if it seems like the hobbits are primitive creatures, they are not that old.
