Ancient stone tools found on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi represent the oldest evidence for humans living there 1 million years ago.

Flores is the same place where archaeologists discovered the short-statured Homo floresiensis – also known as the 'hobbit' – in a cave in 2003. This meter-high hominin (3.3 feet) with a brain the size of grapefruit took the world by surprise when it was found, because it didn't look like any other early human.

Seven newly discovered stone tools, dating to between 1.04 and 1.48 million years ago, were found on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.
