Question

A fossilized skull dates back to 18,000 years ago. In fact, floresiensis possibly shared the island of Flores with Homo sapiens for 30,000 years.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Homo floresiensis, also known as the Hobbit or Flores Man, lived on the island of Flores in Indonesia from about 100,000 to 60,000 years ago. They were very small in size, with an adult individual standing about 3 feet 7 inches tall. The fossilized skull that dates back to 18,000 years ago is not from Homo floresiensis. Hence the correct answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is false.

Homo floresiensis, also known as the Hobbit or Flores Man, lived on the island of Flores in Indonesia from about 100,000 to 60,000 years ago. This species was very small in size, with an adult individual standing about 3 feet 7 inches tall.

According to the information provided, the fossilized skull that dates back to 18,000 years ago is not from Homo floresiensis, as this species existed much earlier.
