They lived till about 11 or 12000 years ago when a volcanic eruption wiped them and the elephants out. We don't know if modern man ever interacted with H. flore. but they are looking for evidence now. It's the form of modern human that has lived the longest side by side to us as Neanderthal went extinct almost 30,000 years ago so this raises a LOT of questions about where these mini people came from, how they got there, how we'd never found them till now, and lots more. It's really all pretty fascinating.
