This project aims to investigate the behavioural evolution of the extinct Homo floresiensis (the 'hobbit') and modern humans on Flores, Indonesia. Using innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to integrate stone tools with simulation modelling, this project expects to generate new understanding about the behavioural strategies of the two human species and their interactions with the Flores environment over the past 190,000 years. Anticipated outcomes include refined knowledge of human evolution and interaction in island Southeast Asia, and innovative experimental methods for the study of stone tools. This will emphasise Australia's role in international human evolution research, and inform the study of comparable stone tools in Australia.

该项目旨在调查印度尼西亚弗洛勒斯岛已灭绝的弗洛勒斯人（“霍比特人”）和现代人类的行为进化。该项目利用创新的跨学科方法将石器与模拟建模相结合，期望对过去 19 万年来这两个人类物种的行为策略及其与弗洛勒斯环境的相互作用产生新的认识。预期成果包括对东南亚岛屿人类进化和相互作用的深入了解，以及研究石器的创新实验方法。这将强调澳大利亚在国际人类进化研究中的作用，并为澳大利亚类似石器的研究提供信息。
