The hobbits were a type of early human nicknamed after their height - their real name was, in fact, Homo floriensis, named after the island where the fossils were found. The hobbits were nicknamed after their height because of how small they were - a fully grown person would stand at about the height of an average 5-year-old! However, they had a surprising amount of wit considering the size of their brains. Their brains, as fossils show, were about the size of an orange. According to all other evidence found, this was supposed to mean that the species wasn't smart at all or developed - but new discoveries of Homo floriensis stated otherwise. They were, in fact, very advanced for the time period. Scientists agree that the hobbits were around from 38,000 to 18,000 years ago. Some scientists even think that they were around 12,000 years ago!
Most people believe that the reason the hobbits were so small and their brains were so small is because of the fact that there was nearly no resources, which caused them to diminish in size.
