Born and raised in so and so: anthropogenic: created by humans or caused by human activity ( i. e. pollution ) Relationship between extinctions and human lineage: homo floresiensis: stood three foot tall; discovered in flores, indonesia, discovered in the island of flores in indonesia o o (around)~extinct 12,000 years ago. 3 feet tall: multiregional evolution, under the multiregional evolution hypothesis, the first humans to leave.
