Hopping mad over 'hobbit'. Scientists fight over fossil skull and bones of humanlike creature

Quote:

Morwood insisted Thursday that Jacob and his colleagues have not only destroyed some of the bone specimens, but had even glued one broken bone together to hide the damage. "We are disgusted with some of the material that has now been returned," Morwood said. "It's appalling -- severely and irreparably damaged. Some has been washed and dissolved in acetone to make it impossible to extract any DNA for analysis."
