Endocast analysis of the brain Homo floresiensis by Falk et al. (Reports, 8 April 2005, p. 242) implies that the hominid is an insular dwarf derived from H. erectus, but its tiny cranial capacity cannot result from normal dwarfing. Consideration of more appropriate microcephalic syndromes and specimens supports the hypothesis of modern human microcephaly.
福尔克等人(《报告》,2005年4月8日,第242页)对弗洛勒斯人脑部的颅内模分析表明,该原始人是源自直立人的岛屿侏儒,但它极小的脑容量并非正常侏儒化的结果。对更合适的小头畸形综合征及标本的研究支持了现代人类小头症的假说。
