[edit] Split?

Something needs doing with this entry. There are other longer/better mentions of Zana and the Flores finds in other entries so long ones here seem redundant. I have linked into those entries from here. Two solutions:

1. Slim the sections down and link to the main entries. This would also involve expanding this entry to be a more general one linking to other relic hominid entries.

2. The entry is split and any salvagble bits are are parcelled out to the relevant entries.

At the moment the coverage is skimpy on the subject and too detailed on the two examples. (Emperor 20:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC))

It needs to have a wider range (with a couple of sentences on each hominid), or to be deleted altogether. It looks like an article that someone started and then abandoned. Totnesmartin 15:23, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
