In Europe, they encountered
the Neanderthals,
our closest ancient human cousins.
But most anthropologists
believe that by the time
modern humans arrived in Asia,
there had died out.
Then in 2004 on the island
of Flores in Indonesia,
scientists discovered fossils
of an ancient creature.
No more than a meter tall
and with a tiny brain.
Homo floresiensis revolutionized
the long pound theories
of human evolution.
It came to be known as the hobbit.
When the hobbit was found, many of us
just couldn't believe
what was being proposed.
It was something that look
like human like creatures
surviving until 17,000 years ago
in Indonesia are on a highland
with sophisticated culture.
It didn't make any sense.
things up in the air
because that was the first of its kind
being something really completely
outlandish being found.
Professor Bert Roberts was part
of the original team that
discovered the hobbit.
In the recent past, that
was in the last few
tens of thousands of
years, we thought it was
much simpler situation.
There's us Homo sapiens,
there's Neanderthals
in Western Asia or in Europe
and the rest of the world
was pretty much empty
and suddenly out of nowhere we
got a brand new type of human
who's still surviving
until very, very recently
and yet such an ancient design.
You think wow, if we can
find this brand new species
how many are we missing out there?
Maybe we'll be misidentifying
things in the past.
Maybe we just haven't been
looking in the right places.
There are vast expanses
of unexplored territory across Asia.
Scientists have barely
scratched the surface
of what lies beneath.
In 2008, Darren and Ji
back to the Red Deer Cave.
We didn't really know how the site was.
there were suggestions
that it could had been towards
the end of the Ice Age
that there was a very little chance
that it could have been considered be older
and that was an exciting
prospect, exciting opportunity.
When you start digging a site like this,
you're aware of the fact that
you're actually the first
people to be exposing
things from the ground.
You're the first people to see these things
since the people who actually used the cave
tens of thousands of years ago.
And it gives you a real
connection to your ancestors
to the way that we lived
for millions of years
in our evolution.
And there's always the
excitement if you don't know
