...J.R.R. Tolkien introduced the fictional “hobbit” character to the world. Today, Professor of Anthropology Daniel E. Lieberman ’86 and an international team of more than 25 researchers are investigating the existence of a new hobbit-like species that is distinct from present-day humans. Lieberman said that the remains of at least nine individuals with the features of a tiny human have been excavated on the remote Indonesian island of Flores. The first of these hobbit fossils was uncovered in October 2004. More recently, an anthropology professor at the University...
...wait before you can accept someone who friended you? How well do you have to know a person before you can friend them? Is poking always flirting? And how often can you remain on the updated profile list without looking like a complete tool? Of course, there is the distinct possibility that facebook.com is simply a mechanism for finding true love.

They call the period of decline senescence and consider it distinct and apart from what came before...
...years during which she completed The Age of Maturity, Claudel struggled ever harder to find a style distinct from Rodin's. Working under the spell of Art Nouveau and Japanese prints, she produced some fascinating small exercises like The Wave, in which a near abstract surf of marble/onyx rises above three capering nudes. But the Detroit show is frank in acknowledging the timidity, repetition and sheer mediocrity of some of her late work. Yet even when she was turning out retrograde sculptural commissions for the Countess de Maigret, who served for a time as her patron, she could not help...
