Neandertals are not totally extinct; they live on in some of us.

Some people don’t just have a caveman mentality; they may actually carry a little relic of the Stone Age in their DNA.
A new study of the Neandertal genome shows that humans and Neandertals interbred.

These results imply that hobbits were able to engage in vigorous physical activities that neither modern humans nor H. erectus could manage

Score one for the Prof! I've seen it argued in martial arts and fencing sites that hobbits, dwarves, and orcs couldn't stand up to men because of the size difference.
