In the April 2005 issue of National Geographic, the co-authors of “The People Time Forgot,” write:

“For a few skeptics, this is all too much to swallow. They argue that the one complete skull must have come from a modern human with a rare condition called microcephaly, in which the brain is shrunken and the body dwarfed. The other small bones, they say, might be the remains of children. But last year’s discoveries include part of a second adult skull – a lower jaw – that is just as small as the first. It simply strains credibility to invoke a rare disease a second time.”

While two individuals suffering from microcephaly does seem like a stretch, Occam’s razor would have us all holding our tongues at the moment. The verdict is still out, yet everybody, myself included, is eagerly adding to the cacophony.
