More like cousins.
A new species of human, Homo floresiensis, has been discovered on an Indonesian island. Well, her fossilized remains were discovered.
Apparently the bone structure is different enough to merit classifying this specimen as a new species. What's even more surprising, H. floresiensis may well have shared the island with H. sapiens – modern humans.
Until H. floresiensis died out some 13,000 years ago.
Legends of the "Little Folk", anyone?
