Human development through running, how was the research of H. floresiensis affected by the earthquake and 2004 was the 7th most prolific year in dinosaur discoveries with 17 valid genera described



Good day,
I wonder if anyone have heard about the recent hypothesis of human evolution. 
It states that the true physiological process which created human was a run 
rather than walk (since Australopithecs were walking long millenias and still 
nothing). Man is not a fast sprinter in comparison with other mammals (human 
top speed is 43.5 km/h) but quite good long distance runner (an average speed 
on 10K WR is over 6.3 m/s. which is, according to author of this study, equal 
to a horse performance - seems not likely to me, BTW)...following is table of 
adaptations for running in early Hominids etc. 
Does anyone know, how was the research of "hobbits" influenced by the recent 
disaster? Flores island was not far from it. Thanks in advance and HNY, Vlad
