Living Neandertals & another idea about the Hobbits

Just a note for those of you who don't read my other weblog, Greg Cochran has two new ideas that we're trying to guess at. First, he's got a new theory about the origin/evolution about the Hobbits of Flores. Second, he thinks it might be a possibility that there are living Neandertals. Anyway, I'm throwing this out there because I won't be too surprised if Greg can convince Nick Wade to write a story in the Grey Lady about this stuff at some point in the near future....

Razib,

Surely you have some inside scoop? Has anyone guessed who the living neandertals are? Perhaps Cochran could tell us what continent they live on...
