There are several pieces of evidence that let us gain insight into the past species that have gone extinct today. This is all the more true for the island of Flores in Indonesia, which claims that lost people once existed. Fossils in the Liang Bua cave were discovered by researchers to provide evidence that small-brained humanoids thrived on this island. They were officially called Homo Floresiensis, and nicknamed “hobbits” by scientists. Despite being the prey of Komodo dragons, they really did flourish with life.

If you think this practice is purely fiction, you might want to rethink that theory.
