“is what’s left of a woman who suffered from a developmental disorder that resulted in an unusually small brain and a misshapen skull and lower body.”

Discussin Nancy Peeloosy again?

[Caesar Soze]

Critics say the finds represent nothing more than human pygmies like those still living on Flores. In their opinion, the centerpiece hobbit find — a partial skeleton of an adult female known as LB1 — is what’s left of a woman who suffered from a developmental disorder that resulted in an unusually small brain and a misshapen skull and lower body.

It seems unlikely that a person with such developmental disabilities would survive to adulthood in the stone age, or that enough of them survived that one was fossilized.

Why? Did one of them have only nine fingers?

Shalom.
