David (meaning favorite) was an important King of Israel.
He is described in the Qu'ran, Bahá'í scripture and the Old Testament books of 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel.
He was the father of King Solomon, and an ancestor of Jesus.
David was the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse, a shepherd; Jesse was the son of Ruth (Ruth 4: 17, 22).
David was a shepherd, like his father.
While taking care of the sheep, he would use a sling to keep wild animals from hurting them.
He would also play his harp.
Many of the songs he wrote during his life are found in the book of Psalms.
In Saul's service
He called David, the shepherd, to his palace because David was good at playing the harp, and the soft music soothed Saul when he was being tormented by the evil sprit.
Saul "liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers."
So, "...whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would take his harp and play.
Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him."
He unknowingly puts in his court the person God chose to replace him.
David’s first victory
When David was about twelve years old, his older brothers had to join the army to fight for Israel, under the leadership of King Saul.
His father was worried about them, and sent David to check on them.
He took his harp with him, and King Saul, who was very troubled, heard him play and found it soothing.
He asked for David to remain with the army.
At the time David arrived, a giant Philistine enemy, Goliath, was mocking the Israelites and God, saying, “Who will come and fight me?
If he wins, we will be your slaves, but if I win, then you will be our slaves!”
All the Israelites were afraid.
When David saw this, he was very angry, and he said, “I will go and fight him!”
David's faith was very different from that of King Saul, who, not thinking about God, immediately said, "You are not able...you are only a boy..." But David said confidently, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver (save) me from the hand of this Philistine."
He had faith, not in his own fighting skills, but in the power of God, whose honor has been hurt by the Philistines and whose covenant promises had been forgotten by the Israelites.
When King Saul saw that David was brave enough to fight Goliath, he agreed to send him.
Saul gave David armour and weapons, but they were too heavy for him.
David told Saul that he would use his sling instead.
He then used a smooth stone and hit Goliath in the forehead, killing him instantly.
Using Goliath’s own sword, David cut off Goliath's head.
Although Saul was pleased at the victory, he began to worry that David would begin to seek power.
Jealousy erupts
Later, because of David's excellent fighting skills and loyalty to God, King Saul appointed David to a high rank in the army and married him to one of his own daughters, Michal.
Whenever David went into battle, he returned with a victory, and all the people were pleased with him, and King Saul treasured him very much.
David became a close companion and friend of Saul's son Jonathan.
But one day, when King Saul was coming out to greet his people, the women of the town came out, singing and dancing, with tambourines and lutes.
And as they danced, they sang the following words:
Saul tries to kill David
Saul's jealousy then began to heat into hatred, and he wanted to kill David, but not yet with his own hand - and so he asked David to marry his daughter, Merab, but David refused politely, and Merab was married to Adriel of Meholah.
Then he asked, again, for David to marry Michal, who was in love with David.
David again refused.
Finally, he asked him to bring a hundred Philistine foreskins, and then he would give the bride over.
David was pleased to become Saul's son-in-law when he heard this, and agreed.
Saul thought, "Now he will be killed by the Philistine's hand!"
But God was with David, and he was not hurt.
Saul tells Jonathan and all the officials to kill David, but Jonathan loved David very much (and had made a covenant of friendship with him), and warned Saul not to.
Saul listened, but later he grew angry again, and kept trying to kill David.
Many times David did not kill Saul when he had a chance to, but instead said, "How can I kill the Lord's anointed?"
and spared Saul; and many times Saul blessed David and repented, and determined to stop trying to kill David - but he always returned with a spear.
David crowned king
In battle with the Philistines, Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua were killed (the surviving son, Ish-Bosheth or Esh-Baal, was later made king by Abner).
Saul was injured, and he said to his armor-bearer to kill him before "...these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me."
The armor-bearer was too afraid to do it, so Saul "...took his own sword and fell on it", killing himself.
The armor-bearer killed himself, as well. "
So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died together that same day."
An Amalekite came to David and lied that he had killed Saul, probably hoping that David would reward him.
David realized that Saul was dead, and ripped his clothes and wept.
He was not happy to hear that Saul was dead, and even killed the Amalekite, thinking that he was Saul's murderer.
He was anointed again in front of everybody.
Meanwhile, Ish-Bosheth, the only son of Saul left, was made king by Abner, a relative of Saul. "
The war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time.
David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.",
Later, Abner slept with one of Saul's concubines, and Ish-Bosheth asked, "Why did you sleep with my father's concubine?"
Ish-Bosheth suspected that Abner wanted to be king instead of him (sleeping with the concubine of a king was thought very important).
Abner became very angry and decided to help David instead.
However, Joab, the commander of David's army, did not like Abner because Abner had killed his brother.
Maybe he also thought his job as the leader of the army would not be safe if Abner helped David, because Abner was very powerful in the northern tribes of Israel.
So, Joab killed him by stabbing him in the stomach.
David cursed Joab for murdering Abner and said that he did not join in the killing.
When Ish-Bosheth heard that Abner had died, he became very worried: the northern tribes were now without a strong leader.
Two men, Recab and his brother Baanah, killed Ish-Bosheth in his house and brought his head to David, saying, "This day the LORD has avenged my lord the king against Saul."
David was very angry, and killed them: cutting off the hands that had killed Ish-Bosheth and the feet that had run with the news.
They buried the head of Ish-Bosheth in Abner's tomb.
A promise not forgotten
A few years after David had captured Jerusalem, he asked, "Is there anyone...to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
remembering the promise he had made.
They found a servant of King Saul named Ziba, who said that there was still a son of Jonathan who was crippled in both feet named Mephibosheth.
David told Mephibosheth that he would get back all the land Saul had when he was king, and that Mephibosheth would always eat at his table - a mark of great honor.
Mephibosheth bowed down and cried, "What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?"
From then on, Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem and always ate at the king's table like one of David's sons.
One day, David was walking around on the roof of his palace when he saw a very beautiful woman bathing.
David found out that her name was Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite, who was one of David's royal guards.
David "sent messengers to get her...and he slept with her."
Because of this, David eventually broke the sixth, seventh, ninth and tenth commandments  She soon became pregnant.
The law said that both David and Bathsheba must die for their sin.
David made Uriah come back from battle and tried to make him go back home and sleep with Bathsheba, so everybody would think it was Uriah's son.
But Uriah did not go home, saying, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents...How could I go to my house...and lie with my wife?"
His devotion demonstrated how sinful David was.
Finally, when David could not make him go home, he decided to make Uriah die so he could marry Bathsheba himself quickly.
He said, "Put Uriah in the front line where the fighting is fiercest (most violent).
Then withdraw (go away) from him so he will be struck down and die."
Because of this, Uriah died.
David married Bathsheba, but "...the thing David had done displeased the LORD."
So, Nathan the prophet went and told him that he had done a very bad sin.
David saw he was guilty and was very sorry.
He said, "I have sinned against the Lord."
Nathan told David that he was forgiven, and the LORD mercifully did not make David die, as the law said he must.
However, Nathan said that Bathsheba's first son, born as a result of their sins would die.
After Nathan had gone home, the child became sick and died.
David was very sad, but humbly accepted the results of his sin.
Bathsheba had another son, and they named him Solomon.
The LORD loved him, and said to name him Jedidah (it means loved by the LORD)  This name showed that the LORD loved Solomon from when he was born, and also showed that the LORD still loved David, even though he had sinned.
After the overthrow of King Zedekiah of the House of David his lineage was carried on by the Exilarchs.
Descendants of the house of exilarchs were living in various places long after the office became extinct.
A descendant of Hezekiah, Hiyya al-Daudi, Gaon of Andalucia, died in 1154 in Castile according to Abraham ibn Daud.
Several families, as late as the 14th century, traced their descent back to Josiah, the brother of David ben Zakkai who had been banished to Chorasan (see the genealogies in [Lazarus 1890] pp.
180 et seq.).
The descendants of the Karaite Exilarchs have been referred to above.
A number of Jewish families in the Iberian peninsula and within Mesopotamia continued to preserve the tradition of descent from Exilarchs in the Late Middle Ages, including the families of Abravanel, Benveniste, Hajj Yachya and Ben-David.
One tradition also traces the ancestry of Judah Loew ben Bezalel to Babylonian Exilarchs (during the era of the geonim) and therefore also from the Davidic dynasty, which is however disputed.
According to another tradition, Rabbi Elazar Rokeach of Amsterdam of the Belz (Hasidic dynasty) was a descendent from the house of King David.
Another Rabbanic Dynasty Charlap also are reportably from the House of King David.

The Ecumenical Patriarch is the Patriarch of Constantinople.
Today, Constantinople is called Istanbul.
He is regarded to be the leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
He has been generally known as the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople.
There is also an Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople (which is different).
The older of the office is the Archbishop of Constantinople.
The office should also not be taken for the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople, which no longer exists.
Orthodox Churches are autocephalous.
This means there is a Patriarch for each Church, and there is usually one Church per country.
For this reason, the Ecumenical patriarch is primus inter pares (First among equals).

The Assyrian Church of the East also called Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East is a Christian church.
It is one of the earliest churches to separate from the larger Church.
It traces its origins to the See of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, started by Saint Thomas the Apostle as well as Saint Mari and Addai as shown in the Doctrine of Addai.
This church is sometimes known as the "Nestorian Church", the "Syrian Church" or the "Persian Church."
The church is currently headed by Mar Dinkha IV.
Other names have been given as well, but they are not accurate.
One of these names is Assyrian Orthodox Church, which has led some people to believe that it is part of the Oriental Orthodox community.
The church itself does not use the word "Orthodox" in any of its service books or in any of its official correspondence, nor does it use any word which can be translated as "correct faith" or "correct doctrine", the rough translation of the word Orthodox.
In India, it is known as the Chaldean Syrian Church.
In the West it is often known as the Nestorian Church.
The Church itself believes that the term 'Nestorian Church' is chosen badly.
The Assyrian Church is the original Christian church in what was once Parthia; eastern Iraq and Iran.
Geographically its influence stretched to China and India in the Middle Ages: a monument found in Xi'an (Hsi-an), the Tang-period capital of China (originally Chang'an), in Chinese and Syriac described the activities of the church in the 7th and 8th century, while half a millennium later a Chinese monk went from Beijing to Paris and Rome to call for an alliance with the Mongols against the Mamelukes.
Before the Portuguese arrival in India in 1498, it provided "East Syrian" bishops to the Saint Thomas Christians.
Patriarch Timothy I (727–823) wrote of the large Christian community in Tibet.
The creators of Assyrian theology are Diodorus of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia.
Both taught at Antioch.
The normative Christology of the Assyrian church was written by Babai the Great (551–628) and is clearly different from the accusations of dualism directed toward Nestorius: his main christological work is called the 'Book of the Union', and in it Babai teaches that the two qnome (essences) are unmingled but everlastingly united in the one parsopa (personality) of Christ.

The program was made in or before 1999 by Mark Spencer, an Auburn University sophomore.
It was made to give the features of AOL Instant Messenger for Linux.
Naming dispute
The original name was GAIM, which stood for GTK+ AOL Instant Messenger.
After pressure from AOL, the program was renamed to gaim.
However, on April 6 2007, the project development team announced the results of their talks with AOL.
This included some name changes: gaim became Pidgin, libgaim became libpurple, and gaim-text became finch.
Due to the legal problems, version 2.0 of the software was stuck in beta stages.
Following the talks, it was said that the first official release of Pidgin 2.0.0 was hoped to happen during the two weeks from April 8, 2007.
However, Pidgin 2.0 did not release on time, but on April 22, 2007.
Pidgin 2.0.0 was released on May 3, 2007.
This was the first version to be called Pidgin.
It also contained a completely new graphics design.

The Books of Samuel (, Sefer Shmuw'el) are part of the Tanakh (part of the Hebrew Bible) and also of the Christian Old Testament.
The two books
The Books of Samuel were originally one book.
The first Greek translation was split in two because it is unusually long.
Other languages followed.
The first book of Samuel tells the history of Israel from the birth of Samuel until Saul's death.
It discusses the failure of Saul to be a good king as a result of his pride and sin, and includes Samuel anointing David as the next king after Saul died.
The second book of Samuel tells the story of King David of Israel, who establishes Jerusalem as Israel's capital city (2 Sam 5:7).
David begins well because he prays and is humble, but later sins and has an affair with a married lady called Bathsheba, who then gave birth to Solomon.
As a result of this affair, David's children go mad, including a brother who rapes his sister as well as murder among the siblings, which leads to the end of David as king.
This ends 2 Samuel.
The next book in the Bible is 1 Kings, which begins with Solomon as King, who builds the Temple in Jerusalem, which God had earlier forbidden David from doing as a result of his sin.
Information about Samuel
Samuel was a Jewish priest, prophet, and judge over Israel in the Old Testament.
His story is told in 1 Samuel.
His name suggests "Heard of God" (1 Samuel 1:20), because his mother's prayer to have a child was heard by God and answered.
We cannot be sure when exactly Samuel was born.
However, we do know from the Old Testament that his father was "a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite."
His mother was Hannah.
Hannah did not have any children, but Elkanah's other wife, Peninnah, had children, and this made her so sad she wept.
Hannah prayed to God, "O Lord Almighty...if you will only...remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life..."  God gave her a son, and naming him Samuel, she kept her promise to God by giving him to the Lord (making him serve in the temple).
There, "...the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord."
At that time there was a priest named Eli: his sons were not good and sinned, but Samuel "...continued to grow in stature (height) and in favor with the Lord and with men."
One day, when Samuel was a young boy still in the temple, he heard someone calling.
He thought it was Eli, but Eli told him that God was talking to him.
So Samuel went back and listened, and when he heard God calling, "Samuel!
Samuel!"
he said, "Speak (talk), for your servant is listening."
Then the Lord told Samuel that he would destroy Eli's family because of Eli's sinful sons.
Samuel told everything to Eli, and "...all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized (realized) that Samuel was...a prophet of the Lord.
The Lord...revealed himself to Samuel through his word."
Samuel made the people in Israel be sorry for their sins until he died.
He also  Saul after the Israelites demanded a king to rule over them, and once Saul failed to be good, Saul anointed David to be the king after him.

Sacrilege involves doing or saying something that goes against something sacred.
This does not just apply to religious things, but any person, place, or thing which is considered too important to be criticised.
Psychotherapy means treatment of the mind.
It aims to help the person feel better, be braver, happier and more in control of their lives.
The main way they do this is by talking to the person who has the problems in a way that they begin to be able to understand themselves better.
Some psychotherapists may work with a group of people such as a family who have problems and are unhappy.
Psychotherapists usually complete their training at the doctoral level through doctor of philosophy programs or medical school, although, some are trained at the master's level.
Psychotherapists do not use surgery, or give drugs or electric shocks to the people they help.
These methods are used by special medical doctors called psychiatrists, who may also sometimes give psychotherapy.
Psychotherapy was started in the west in 1886 by Sigmund Freud, the first modern psychotherapist.
Freud was a medical doctor who was trained in neurology.
He became certain that hidden thoughts in the brain (which he called the Unconscious) could cause physical symptoms and strange behavior in some people.
His research of this theory -the idea he had- led him to create "talking therapy" , where he tried to figure out what could cause the mind to do things like this.
Freud thought that his figuring things out and telling the patients what had caused the behavior would cure the patient.
This is why modern psychologists have gradually figured out many other ways of helping their patients and modified their techniques through methods other than psychotherapy.
Hans Eysenck has suggested psychotherapy is discredited.
Christian (given name), a given name.
Both men and women can be named "Christian".

Trousers (or pants in Canada, South Africa and the United States), are a kind of clothing.
They are worn on the lower part of the body, to cover both legs apart (instead of cloth stretching across both as in skirts and dresses).
Historically, in the West, trousers have been the lower-body clothing item for men since the 16th century; by the late 20th century, they were used sometimes by women as well.
Trousers are worn at the hips or waist, and may be held up by their own by a belt, or braces (suspenders).
Bibliography (Greek βίβλος = book γραφή = write) is the arrangement of printed books and articles according to author or subject, and the publication of lists of titles.
Bibliographies are of many different kinds and may be annotated with information about their contents.
Bibliographies may be organized in various ways, such as by authors, subjects or date of publication.
Bibliographies without annotations are sometimes given the modest title of checklists.
Another meaning of Bibliography is the academic study of books as physical and cultural objects; in this sense, it is also known as bibliology.
This kind of bibliography is not concerned with the written content of books, but rather the "bookness" of books-–how they were designed, edited, printed, circulated, reprinted and collected.

He says that being in jail is helping to spread the Christian message, rather than stopping it.
He says that Epaphroditus is a hard worker and is a hero.
The Philippian church had sent Epaphroditus to visit Paul and bring him gifts.
Some time during his visit with Paul, Epaphroditus got sick.
But he got better before being sent back to the Philippians.
In Chapter 3, Paul warns the Philippians about those Christians who insist that circumcision is necessary for salvation.
Circumcision is the removal of skin from the male sex organ for religious reasons.
It is practiced by Jews and Muslims.
He testifies that he once was a strong follower of this and other Jewish laws, but he now considers these things to be like trash compared to the gospel of Jesus.
He says that being right with God comes from faith in Jesus and not by keeping religious laws.
In Chapter 4, Paul tells the Philippians to get along with each other.
In the last part of the chapter, Paul thanks the Philippians for gifts they had sent him, and tells them that God will reward them for being kind to him.
Christ poem
Chapter 2 of the epistle contains a famous poem telling who Christ is and what he did to save us.
Paul says we should follow this example of humble service.
Because of its style, scholars agree that this is an early Christian poem that was written by someone before Paul's writings, as early as the 40s AD.
The Christ poem is important because it strongly suggests that there were very early Christians who understood Jesus to be a God like being who who chose to take on human form, rather than a human who was later raised to a divine status.

The Requiem Mass in D minor K626 is a famous piece of music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart which he composed in 1791.
This requiem (a 'requiem' is a mass (church service) to remember people who have died), was Mozart's last composition.
He wrote it as he lay dying himself.
It seems that he did not manage to finish it before he died, and that it was finished by another musician called Franz Xaver Süssmayr.
We do not know exactly how much of the music is by Mozart, and how much Süssmayr had to add.
There have been lots of stories and ideas about how the Requiem was composed, and it is still a problem that is often discussed by musicians.

Gregorio Allegri (1582 – February 7, 1652),  was an Italian composer and priest.
He wrote a large number of religious pieces, including motets and several settings of the Mass. His best known compositions is the Miserere mei Deus.
From 1591 to 1596 Allegri was employed in a church choir in Rome.
In 1601 he became a tenor in the choir.
He studied music and composing with the director of the choir, G. B. Nannio.
He moved around to a number of different churches in Rome, before joining the choir at the Vatican in 1629.
This was the choir that performed in the Sistine Chapel for the pope.
he was made the director of the choir in 1650.
Pope Urban VIII had rewritten some of the texts used in the religious services.
Allegri was given the job of editing Giovanni da Palestrina's music so that it would fit with the new words.
He was seen as an expert in the old style, even though some of his music was written in the new baroque style.
Misere mei Deus
Miserere mei, Deus is a motet written to be sung by two choirs.
One choir is five voices - soprano, alto, two tenors and bass.
The second choir has two sopranos, alto and baritone.
One choir sings a simple kind of tune called a fauxbourdon which is based on a plainchant.
The other sings a more complicated version, with a top part which goes up to top C (the note two octaves higher than Middle C).
The singers also improvised some parts of the music, making up elaborate ornamented parts.
These improvisations were not written down, but were passed from singer to singer in the choir.
Allegri wrote the Miserere to be sung in the Sistine Chapel during the Easter celebrations.
During the service, which started at 3.00am, there would be 27 candles burning.
The Pope would gradually extinguish the candles until there was only one left burning.
The Miserere was performed as the pope prayed at the altar with the single candle.
This piece of music became very popular, and the Vatican did not want anyone else to perform it.
No one was allowed to take the music away from the chapel or make copies of it.
The Vatican called for excommunication of anyone trying to make a copy.
However by 1770 there were three known copies of the music.
One of these was given to the Emperor Leopold I by the pope.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart visited the Sistine Chapel during a tour of Europe with his father in 1770.
He was just 14 years old, but heard the piece and wrote all the music out from memory later the same day.
A second visit enabled him to check that he had it written correctly.
It is believed that Mozart's copy of the music was sent to England where it was published by Dr Charles Burney.
It would be assumed that Mozart would have written the improvisations in his copy.
Burney's version lacks the improvisations, so it possible that he removed them, and destroyed Mozart's copy to avoid trouble with the church.
There were no copyright laws in those days, so there was nothing that the Vatican could do about it.
It is believed that the version of the Miserere mei Deus performed today, is very different to the work that Allegri composed.

Chronology is a word meaning 'the study of time'.
It comes from the Greek words chronos (time) and logos (word).
The adjective is chronological.
There are many sciences which deal in different ways with chronology.
General is sometimes called "periodization".
Historical chronology can deal with history or with the geological history of the earth.
When things are put in chronological order it can sometimes be called a "timeline".
Adjective- (of a record of events) following the order in which they occurred (kind of like a timeline)

In Greek mythology, Pontus or Pontos (, Póntos - "Sea") was one of the primordial deities, the personification of the sea.
He was a son of Gaia (the Earth), by whom he is the father of Nereus and Phorcys.
He was also the consort of the goddess Thalassa.
Pontus () is a historical region on the southern coast of the Black Sea.
Today it is part of Turkey.

Homo floresiensis ("Flores Man", also called "hobbit") is a probable species in the genus Homo, to which humans belong.
The remains were found in 2004 on the island of Flores in Indonesia.
Parts of the skeletons of nine individuals were found, including one complete cranium (the head).
The most important and obvious identifying features of H. floresiensis are its small body, and small size of the space for the brain inside the skull.
This is why the discoverers have called members of the species "hobbits", after J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional race of roughly the same height.
The remains were discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores by an Australian-Indonesian team of archaeologists in 2003.
Archaeologist Mike Morwood and colleagues were looking for evidence of the original human migration of H. sapiens from Asia to Australia.
They were not expecting to find a new species.
They were surprised at the discovery of a nearly complete skeleton of a hominin.
Excavations done after that found seven more skeletons, originally thought to be from 38,000 to 13,000 years ago.
An arm bone which they think belongs to H. floresiensis was dated at about 74,000 years old.
The specimens are not fossilized and have "the consistency of wet blotting paper"; once exposed.
The bones had to be left to dry before they could be dug up.
However, more extensive stratigraphic and chronological work pushed the most recent evidence of their existence back to 50,000 years ago.
Their skeletal material is now dated to from 100,000 to 60,000 years ago.
Stone tools recovered alongside the skeletal remains were from archaeological horizons ranging from 190,000 to 50,000 years ago.
Researchers hope to find preserved mitochondrial DNA to compare with samples from similarly unfossilised specimens of Homo neanderthalensis and H. sapiens.
There are also a lot of stone tools found in the cave.
The tools are of a size that could be used by the 1 meter tall human.
They are dated from 95,000 to 13,000 years ago.
They are found in the same archeological layer as an elephant of the extinct genus Stegodon.
The hobbit might have hunted this elephant.
The elephant would have been very common throughout Asia during the Quaternary.
Other animals that lived on the island at that time were giant rats, Komodo dragons, and even larger species of lizards.
Homo sapiens reached the region by around 45,000 years ago.
A new species or not?
Archaeologist Mike Morwood and colleagues who found the remains say they think the individuals belong to a new species, H. floresiensis, in our human genus Homo.
The discoverers also say that H. floresiensis might have lived at the same time as modern humans (Homo sapiens) on Flores.
Not everyone agrees that this is a new species.
Indonesian anthropologist Teuku Jacob  suggested that the skull of LB1 was a modern human with microcephaly.
This is a disorder that causes the bones of the head to stop growing.
Another study says that perhaps the individuals were born without a working thyroid gland, which would result in the small size of the hominins because of a disorder called myxedema.
Two studies of the bones published in 2007 both reported evidence to support species status for H. floresiensis.
A study of three bits of bones from the hand (carpals) showed that they were similar to the carpal bones of a chimpanzee or an early hominin such as Australopithecus.
They were also different from the bones of modern humans.
A study of the bones and joints of the arm, shoulder, and legs also concluded that H. floresiensis was more similar to early humans and apes than modern humans.
In 2009, the publication of a cladistic analysis, and a study comparing body sizes, gave further support for the theory that H. floresiensis and Homo sapiens are separate species.
Archaeologists believe that the species has survived on Flores at least until 12,000 years ago.
This makes it the longest lasting non-modern human.
It also lived longer than the Neanderthals (H. neanderthalensis), which became extinct about 24,000 years ago.
Because of a deep neighboring strait, Flores remained isolated during the last ice age.
Because of this, the discoverers of H. floresiensis think that the species, or its ancestors, must have reached the isolated island by water transport around 100,000 years ago (or, if they are H. erectus, then about 1 million years ago).
Local geology suggests that a volcanic eruption on Flores approximately 12,000 years ago was responsible for the end of H. floresiensis and animals that lived on the island.
The elephant Stegodon also became extinct at this time.
Stories of later survival
There are local stories that a small race of people lived on the island.
The Ebu Gogo were small, hairy, language-poor cave dwellers.
It is said that they were there at the time of the arrival of the first Portuguese ships during the 16th century.
These creatures are claimed to have existed as recently as the late 19th century.
Gerd van den Bergh, a paleontologist working with the fossils, reported hearing of the Ebu Gogo ten years before the fossil discovery.
On the nearby island of Sumatra, there are reports of a 1-1.5m tall humanoid, the Orang Pendek which might be related to H. floresiensis.
