Meet the Press ‘Hobbits’ linked to nutritional deficiency Scientists suggest small size was due to growth-stunting condition Philippe Plailly / AFP - Getty Images This sculpture of a Homo floresiensis female was created by Elisabeth Dayn¨s under strict scientific scrutiny, reflecting how scientists think the hominids looked during life 18,000 years ago. MSNBC staff and news service reports HONG KONG - Small humanlike skeletons found in a cave on a remote Indonesian island were actually human, and their miniature features were probably due to nutritional deficiency, researchers in Australia have suggested. Writing in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, the scientists said these were more likely to be cretin offspring of normal mothers who suffered from iodine and other dietary deficiencies. Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical and mental growth due to a congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones. Ever since the 18,000-year-old skeletons were found in Liang Bua on the Indonesian island of Flores, four years ago, anthropologists have debated whether or not they represented a previously unseen species of dwarf hominid — or merely a group of deformed humans. The newly published research opens an additional argument for the latter view.
