The Liang Bua team named the species Homo floresiensis after the island where the fossils were discovered.
Sutikna said that a thick layer of volcanic ash was found just on top of the layer where Homo floresiensis was first found.
And above the volcanic ash layer, we did not find any fossils of Homo floresiensis or other ancient animals,” he said.
