I really don't think the new species look anything like hobbits, hobbits are just popular at the moment and the new species happen to be short.
The news is that it's been confirmed the remains are of a previously unknown decendent of homo erectus rather than a dwarfed race of humans, and they were sharing the planet with us 'til just 13,000 years ago.

So that confirms that Hobbits did exist. 
Not all human myth is fiction.
Truth is stranger than our assumptions about fiction.
Okay, I go now.

Indeed. I think I said much the same in a journal elsewhere when the discovery first came to light.
