You're wrong. I have found a story on the wristbones - from September, not November but it doesn't say that
Floresiensis is a monkey. It does say that
Floresinsis is not a dwarfed version of modern humans.
New Light Shed On The 'Hobbit'
But the hobbit's wrist is basically indistinguishable from an African ape or early hominin-like wrist--nothing at all like that seen in modern humans and Neandertals.
"Basically, the wrist evidence tells us that modern humans and Neandertals share an evolutionary grandparent that the hobbits do not, but all three share an evolutionary great-grandparent. If you think of modern humans and Neandertals as being first cousins, then the hobbit is more like a second cousin to both."
Add in the evidence of tool use and it is pretty clear that
Floresiensis is a hominin - falling between humans and modern apes.
