What conclusions would be arrived at when comparing the fossilized remains of a current NBA center or power forward with a really short film actor like Danny Devito or the guy that played Tattoo on Fantasy Island? An NFL interior lineman with a ballerina? A dachshund with a labrador retriever?
And with 60% to 80% of the skeleton missing?
I think that what the anthropologists say tells us more about them than the prehistoric fossils that they interpret.

Besides the height difference, the two skeletons will be almost identical. They'll have the same number of bones, the same proportion of muscle attachment size to bone size, the same initial dentiture, etc. Future paleontologists will conclude they belonged to the same species...
