[:es]Los pigmeos modernos de Flores no comparten genética con los ‘hobbits’[:]
[:es]Dos poblaciones pigmeas en la misma isla tropical: Flores. Una se extinguió hace decenas de miles de años, los conocidos como ‘hobbits’ y la otra todavía vive allí, los pigmeos modernos. La pregunta de si estaban relacionados ha tardado años en responderse. Según un nuevo estudio de la revista Science, no existe vínculo genético entre…
