I just wrote that title in response to Bunny's post below.

As probably everyone knows by now, a new species of tiny human has just been discovered. Desmond Morris has written an interesting commentary on how this might effect religious perspectives and people's acceptance of evolution. I thought it was appropriate to make a link, since Rawatism is one of those religions which thrives on the belief of the specialness or uniqueness of homo sapiens sapiens.

Have fun reading! Here is an excerpt:

In theory, the existence of Mini-Man should destroy religion, but I can already hear the fanatics claiming that he has been put on earth by the Devil simply to test our faith.
