...These extraordinary claims brought out scores of critics. Maybe these were just a type of pygmy-but pygmies have normal-size brains, and the hobbits? brains were tiny. OK, so maybe the Australians had dug up a child, or maybe the skull came from someone with microencephaly, a condition that keeps the head and brain from growing properly. These questions would have been easier to answer if other scientists could have examined the fossils; unfortunately, Indonesian paleontologists snatched them up and squirreled them away-and, it turns out, damaged them...

...word inflammation suggests "fire within," a graphic if inaccurate image. Normal inflammation is the healing system's response to localized injury and attack. It is confined to that location, serves a purpose and ends when the problem is resolved. Abnormal inflammation extends beyond its appointed limits in space and time; it does not end when the problem is resolved. The inflammatory process unleashes some of the immune system's most sophisticated weaponry, including enzymes that can rupture cell walls and digest vital components of cells and tissues. When inflammation targets normal tissues, when it just won't quit...
