Homo Floresiensis

One of the oldest ancient humans ever discovered was in Liang Bua Cave, Flores. The name Homo Floresiensis, which translates to “Flores Man”, was thus given to the individual. The carving of this statue was inspired by this first 100 meters tall human who is also believed to be an ancestor that must be respected.
