The Hobbits were a group of early humans evolved that had a condition called "island dwarfing". This mad the people on the island extremely short due to smaller bones. The Hobbits lived for 38,000 to around 16,000 years ago. They had large brains despite their small bones. The hobbits only lived for a relatively short period of time and didn't evolve into a major species although they evolved from early humans. The early humans became so small because of limited resources and if they needed too much food they they wouldn't survive. In Indonesian folklore there are stories of small people which has led archeologists to consider if we crossed paths with the hobbits before and maybe they were too small to survive off the islands or maybe they even evolved. The hobbits evolved over a long period of time and even though they adapted to the island the resources were too limited and eventually led to the extinction of the human hobbit.
