several onerous player contracts. Padres chairman
John Seidler stated, we will undertake this process
with integrity and professionalism, honoring

Just be sure to tell them, Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. A tiny ape -like humanoid may still
be living in plain sight, scientist says. Flores,
Indonesia is the home of the scientific study
of small humans. Retired professor Gregory Forth
continues to proliferate the hope of finding
a living homo -flourishensis. His book spells
out his multi -decade search for evidence of
a continually living human -like species. The
scientific community believes a small species
of human known as Homo floresiensis once lived
on Flores, Indonesia, around 50 ,000 years ago.
Forth thinks these ape -like humanoids could
still exist, evolution be damned. He has studied
Homo floresiensis for roughly 40 years. Forth's
hopes of a living home of Floresiensis were emboldened
by the finding of fossils roughly 20 years ago.
