Use the following information when answering the corresponding question(s) .
Brown et al.and Morwood et al.reported in 2004 that they had found skeletal remains of a previously unknown type of hominin,now dubbed Homo floresiensis,on the Indonesian island of Flores.These hominins were small (approximately 1 m tall) ,with small braincases (approximately 380 cm³) ,as compared with other hominins.The remains of H.floresiensis were found alongside handmade stone tools and the remains of dwarf elephants that also inhabited the island,suggesting that H.floresiensis was able both to make tools and to coordinate the hunting of animals much larger than itself.H.floresiensis is estimated to have lived at the site where the remains were found from at least 38,000 years ago to 18,000 years ago.
-Refer to the paragraph on Brown et al.and Morwood et al.Which would be the most feasible method of figuring out to which other hominin species H.floresiensis was most closely related?
