Hi,

I often wonder how future anthropologists will view the present epoch, through this sort of looking glass. For instance will they see the Australian Rugby fan as a different sort of hominid species, and politicians, real estate agents, and so on (no no, don't report me, just joking, but do you see what I mean)?

We are looking at physical and environmental factors now, in assessing the Hobbits. I am rather intrigued as to whether our descendents may develop other classifiers for us, such as perhaps homo dubya?

Cheers
