Did the Flores Hobbit Have a Root Canal? Scientific American

The controversy over the remains found on the Indonesian island of Flores continues. Many believe the remains are those of a previously unknown human species given the name Homo floresiensis. Others say the remains are those of a diseased modern human. Now a claim has been made that one of the teeth in the remains exhibits signs of dental work that indicates the remains date back no further than the 1930s. With photo.
