As part of my research for an imminent article on commenter Bruno’s IQ, I decided to try to norm brief little test he took which was posted by commenter Mug of Pee. The test requires you to correctly perceive what’s in each of the following images. Unfortunately the test was too easy to say much about someone as brilliant as Bruno but most people find it challenging , so try it on yourself for fun before looking at the answers and scoring which are located way below the four images:
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4

Scoring
Item 1: If you correctly identified this as a giraffe, you get 1 point. If you identified it as some other striped or spotted mammal like a cheetah, a leopard (including panther), or a zebra, you get 0.5 points. Preliminary research shows that somewhere between 93% to 100% of white adults can get at least half-credit on this item, and 86% can get full credit.
Item 2: If you correctly identified this as a dog, you get 1 point. If you identified it as some other four legged mammal like a pig, you get 0.5 points. Preliminary research shows that 36% of white adults can get at least half-credit on this item, and 29% can get full credit.
Item 3: If you correctly identified this as a man on a horse, you get 1 point. If you could only see a horse but not the man on it, you get 0.5 points. Preliminary research shows that 29% of white adults can at least get half-credit while only 14% can get full credit. No credit for seeing a man but not a horse.
Item 4: If you correctly identified this as Jesus, you get 1 point. If you could only identify it as a human face, without know who’s, you get 0.5 points. Preliminary research suggests that 21% of white adults can at least get half-credit, while only 14% can get full credit.
Note: Give credit if you could see a credited answer, even if you also saw a few wrong answers, and weren’t sure which was correct
Total raw score: Sum of partial and full credits on all 4 items.
Maximum raw score: 4 points
Norms
My stats for this test are based on the fact that earlier this month, I tried this test on a relatively random sample of 14 white adults in different parts of Ontario.
Their scores out of 4 listed from highest to lowest were: 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2.5, 2, 2, 1.5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0.5, 0.5. The mean was 1.64 and the population standard deviation was 0.95. Using the mean and SD, any raw score can be converted to a Z score and Z scores can be converted to IQ equivalents by multiplying the Z score by 15 and adding 100, but don’t take the results too seriously because this test is way too short and simplistic to be meaningful and I’m not a professional.
But for entertainment purposes only, here are what the IQ equivalents would be:
Raw score 0 = IQ 74 or lower (borderline mental retardation)
Raw score 0.5 = IQ 82 (Dull)
Raw score 1 = IQ 90
Raw score 1.5 = IQ 98 (Average)
Raw score 2 = IQ 106
Raw score 2.5 = IQ 114 (Bright)
Raw score 3 = IQ 121 (Borderline Genius)
Raw score 3.5 = IQ 129
Raw score 4 = IQ 137+ (Mild Genius)

You see all aristocracies are loyal only to each other. Thats why the Borubons were restored by Metternich and the other aristocrats. Thats why Russia gave us healthcare and education in the West. Thats why elites around the world will band together to join Zion if they can be bribed.

Pen-tailed treeshrews are the only known wild mammals that consume alcohol every night.

However, how pen-tailed treeshrews benefit from this alcohol ingestion or what consequences of consistent high blood alcohol content might factor into their physiology is unclear

I still can’t see Jesus.
My sister got picture 1 and 4 correct.
I still can’t draw worth shit.
My sister draws photorealistic.
It is because she is ESFP and has extraverted sensing.
I have poor vision and this could be why I have ADD.
My brother is ISTP and has supervision.
I am INFJ so I can’t have autism like philosopher says.
We both share Introverted Intuition but I have ADD and this means my IQ is lower.
There are 7 kinds of ADD, mine is a vision problem.
My anterior cingulate cortex still has an IQ of 135.
I got 125 on block design and 130 on figure weights.
But I have low processing speed and working memory.
Philosopher thinks Autistic people are brainwashed.
But INFJ’s have the highest social awareness so I can’t be autistic.
Because his judgment is Te and mine is Fe we see things differently.
We make different judgments on things.
I understand emotional empathy and he understands cognitive empathy.
I can’t be fooled because I can read people emotionally.
Te is more about the results of manipulation.
Trump understands how to get results, it is what Te does.
But I understand how people work on an emotional level.
People may act one way but they are really different on the inside.
Hillary Clinton is fucking evil.
When Trump bombed Syria she said he should have bombed the whole country.
Trump doesn’t care about Assad, Hillary would start WW3 to get rid of him.
Hillary is ISTJ and Bush Jr is ESTJ, I fucking hate them.
Obama is INTP but is too accommodating and because of his weakness, ISIS got really strong.
Philosopher is still wrong about Jews. Because he views them through Fi.
Fi is a strong personal feeling that is self-centered.
Fi types see everyone as being selfish and having selfish motives.
It is why libertarians say altruism is just selfishness and that selfishness is the reason capitalism works. Ayn Rand was INTJ and viewed everyone as selfish.
Trump is ENTJ and as I said Te seeks results and is very forceful.
But Trump on an emotional level is not bad, (brainwashed people think he is)
Philosopher sees Jews as acting out of weakness to take down others.
This is why Nietzsche called Christianity a slave morality.
Nietzsche was INTJ but philosopher is wrong that he was antisemitic.
His sister was the antisemite and the reason to myth happened that he hated jews.
Philosopher eluded to jews being like the children of the corn.
Somehow in his INTJ mind everything Jewish is bad even though he says he favors jews that agree with him.
The Romans were a very Te dominate society, they believed in strength and hated weakness. They believed in Honor.
Fi and Te is very Honor based.
Because I am Fe and Ti I see things more like Carl Jung.
Freud was ISTJ and Te is very dogmatic and why Jung disagreed with him.
Jung said Hitler was a healer and many think he was a nazi sympathizer.
Hitler was INFP and his feelings were very hurt, He believed in the nobility aristocracy.
Philosopher says jews distort nobility, he believes jews make out weakness as noble and that is why he dislikes them. (The slave morality described by Nietzche)
The 1950’s white picket fence nuclear family. Philosopher says jews hate this.
I disagree.
I and disagree with Nihilism.
Nihilism is the reason the Holocaust happened as Nietzsche predicted.
It is the reason communism killed millions in china and Russia.
The death of God not the jews ruined everything.
The death of God followed the industrial revolution.
The 1960’s were the result of the great depression world war 2 generation.
The greatest generation. The Hero Archetype. The reason for the 50’s and 60,s
But then the baby boomers happened. and Vietnam and the computer revolution.
Society fractured into personality types because of consumerism.

My grandmother was a millionaire, My uncle owns over $400,000 dollars.
I am on social security (the great society Lyndon johnson) My mom has mild downs syndrome and my dad has schizophrenia and no teeth.
I am reading a 6 part book series called Buddha by Osamu Tezuka 1987.
Buddhism is not Nihilism.
In the west we are very individualistic, we believe in individualism.
Nihilism destroys any hope for meaning.
On my blog I said I believe in Theistic Buddhism.
I think that personality types affect how we see the world in a very real way.
I understand the cybernetic feedback brain mechanism for IQ and personality.
My mom took me to church all the time.
Nihilism hurt my feelings since I was 6 years old.
My dad did not love me.
People can’t fool me because I understand emotions.
Facebook says my emotional IQ is 150.
INFJ’s are considered psychic.
They are the archetype of the psychologist.
I saw an article at the groceries store that said Trumps IQ was 163.
I do know that they do have supercomputers that measure IQ based on profiles on everyone in the country.
Philosopher said they have a supercomputer in Arizona looking for people like him.
The mathematics the deep state posses can do correlations much better than factorization of the wais 4.
My sister’s boyfriend has an IQ of 145.
And philosopher has an IQ of 140.
My grandmother made a million dollars because she was smart.
Because I am INFJ my IQ may manifest in a different way than most people.
If it was the NSA that was behind the facebook analytics software that measured my internet activity then my metacognitive IQ would be 155.
My personality type is the archetype of the psychologist.

And pumpkin says you are 125 which is a conflict between you and him because you think is higher than that and he doesn’t. So you must have mentioned it as being high. You may have even said it was higher than pumpkins. (the reason for the conflict?)
You also act like a person I know who is IQ 145. He is a psychologist and has the same temperament as you.
Chris Langan has your temperament and so does my sister’s boyfriend and the guy I know who is 170. And also Scott Adams.
People with IQ’s in the 130’s seem different than people who are at the genius level.
They act as people like Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert.

Lisa Simpson is 159. (The Simpson was one of my favorite TV shows)
When I was 12 I read all the books in the library about artificial intelligence. I found out that MIT was where most A.I. research was happening. Rodney brooks wrote a book called Flesh and Machines in 2002. I read On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins in 2004. I read The Singularity is Near in 2005. The paper I did in high school (2007) was about deep reinforcement learning using hierarchical recurrent neural networks. I feel very much like Chris Langan in that I was very alone. His Cognitive Theoretical Model of the Universe is summarized as a router system that changes topology to have a bidirectional flow of information to maintain homeostasis. The Buddhist’s dependent origination where self-enfoldment allows mapping and navigation of the environment. It is the exact same thing as my A.I. paper in 2007. Immanuel Kant says that all we can know is Perception. We can Never know the Noumenon. This means that our brain is a router system like the internet where change is based on accommodation and assimilation. The brain changes to better represent reality but in doing so changes reality. Cognitive development ala Piaget is resultant experiential navigation. The brain is a traffic flow system. This is the Taoist philosophy of balance. doing by not Doing. Doing with no effort. (Tao)

illuminaticatblog said:
I am still not convinced because it just seems that the neurological condition of autism is just so extreme that it is really not a personality thing but a neurological disorder that has nothing to do with manga and aphantashia. If we were to say schizo and autists were a personality spectrum I would be more in the middle. I could not understand or relate to you much if I was completely autists. I mean pewdiepie likes anime and he is not autist is he? I have depression and ADD. and no I am not better because of meds, it is because I have had better social relationships recently. But also if I think that it was because of my psychosis that I could not look people in the eyes and that has nothing to do with autism. The main factor in autism is sensory integration. It may seem like I have autism features but that is psychosis and ADD. Most autistsic people have supervision which means they see everything in high-resolution details. But their ability to see details comes at a cost of social understanding. My mom has some form of mild retardation but a psychologist I saw in a video said that retardation is not autism. You said autists place everything in rigid categories. If we were to look at a non-autist person but in you opinion a schizo type lets say Kanye West or your favorite actor Mel Gibson. If I was completely autists I could not understand why you view them of schizo types. The main thing is the difference between personality and neurological disorder. Autists and schizo are both. My sister is very schizo. And my brother is way more Autists than me. (he has anger management issues) I am neurotypical. Schizo and Autist cause problems in social understanding people I don’t have. I have a friend with bipolar is IQ 135 and she is very extroverted and this makes her have poor social judgment. I am introverted and depressive psychosis is an extreme form of introversion. Schizo psychosis is and extreme form of Extroversion. Liberal and conservative is another strange category that just does not seem to fit highly socially aware individuals. Many people think conservatives are stupid because of religion but most have really high IQ and are just as introverted as they are extroverted.
I go to a church group that has many ISFJ’s in it and they are highly conservative. They all voted for trump. My mom is ISFJ. (still mild mental retardation)
https://www.16personalities.com/isfj-personality
Mordor as you call it is full of ISTJ’s – Look at this chart of the personality types:
https://www.16personalities.com/personality-types
The pictures you posted earlier of brainwashed people were ESFJ’s – my aunt is ESFJ and is brainwashed. my bipolar friend with poor social judgment is ENFP.
What you are seeing philosopher as the austist personality is just socially unaware introversion. Introversion does not have to be socially unaware. Real autism is a perceptual problem. People with autism see in high-resolution details but as babies don’t look you in the eye and drool. Schizos are highly socially aware but that is all they can do. They are only people persons and don’t much care about anything else. the problem I see is that you can still be schizo and have poor judgment. Autists follow the rules because they don’t know how to manipulate others socially. But the thing with schizos is that rational people are immune to their manipulation. Both of us have extroverted judgment. Our social awareness comes from that. One emotional and the other as best I can make out decides that to get results certain things must be in place in the real world. (I am not a thinker let alone extroverted in my thinking and it’s hard to grasp/internalize) My judgment function (Fe) is based in knowing about people from their perspective. I don’t base things on what I would do but on what others would do. I am completely empty in the sense I do things (decide) by knowing that the other person is how they are and I am not isolated from them. Introverted feeling is very isolated in the way emotional energy builds up inside. it is what people mean by ego in that Kanye West is an egomaniac. Fi is all in the self. But for me I cannot isolate my feelings from others. This means that combined with Introverted intuition I can simulate others inside me and see their true motives. What INTJ’s do is combine Ni and Te to build the ultimate plan. INTJ is the mastermind because they see all of reality as one thing where every event folds into the big scheme of things. It is why you think the jews plan has been in place for hundreds of years when in fact this plan you think exists could never include technology because only the alchemist and esoteric secret societies could imagine such a future as we have now. Brainwashed people can’t see the plan you see and you are much like Issac Newton in that way, he was INTJ. The problem is you think all jews are Fi types and that is why you see their plan as entirely selfish. But Carl jung said that without Introverted intuition their would be no prophets of Israel and that means Most jews are INFJ types as well. Fe is not isolated from others, it does not see everything as selfish or scheming or brainwashed. Issac Newton was a jerk to Leibniz who was INTP and Illuminati. He really could not see that metaphysics is a good thing the way Liebniz did. Any master plan you see philosopher, where you say that I will be shocked to find out it is real, is even more complex than you think it is because you fail to account for psychic people. people that are hidden that have been here from the beginning of time, that have Introverted thinking, that have bigger plans than world domination. World domination is a pathetic plan. The buddha understood this and as Jesus said “The gospel shall be preached to the all the earth and then the end shall come”.

Well Cat, I’m not qualified to diagnose anyone with anything, but one thing that makes me suspect people are autistic is when they write really long comments with few paragraph breaks like the one you just wrote.
More socially aware commenters think about the short attention spans of the reader and make their comments quicker to read, and easier on the eyes by dividing it into paragraphs.
I generally enjoy your comments but we all need to remember to write TO the reader, rather than writing AT the reader.
illuminaticatblog said:
I think a point I was making is that schizo people can be socially aware but make poor judgments. My doctor does not say I have autism. Consistently they say I have schizoaffective disorder. So it bugs me that philosopher says I am Autist when scientific research says the causes of autism is the causes of schizo and philosopher has nothing but his opinion of what both those things are. So I am left to think, what is it he thinks it is when the way I behave can be seen as both autists and schizo. He doesn’t know the cause of my behavior. He doesn’t know my condition. Schizoaffective people have emotional problems because everything is all twisted inside them. Imagine being all contorted inside but in the mind. I take Seizure medications. I don’t fall down or anything but when I went to the neurologist they said I have micro-seizures.
Autistic people act like they are comatose in some way. They are like blobs of jello. Being schizo is about being fractured like when a plate of glass shatters. I am not a blob of jello. I don’t like anime because I am autistic. my mind was shattered. I have delusions and dark thoughts. I don’t stare at walls drooling. If east Asians are said to be uncreative then it is not because they are autistic but because they don’t have on the whole fractured minds. They are Buddhists and meditation heals the mind. That is why they have 105 IQ and whites have 100 IQ. They have much less schizophrenia because they never experience satanism like we did in the west. Christianity, Witchcraft, Magic, Alchemy and Science gave the west schizophrenia. This is why I say esoteric philosophy is behind everything, not the jews.
The Babylonians sacrificed babies in fire and the jews said that god said this was evil. Abraham was from Mesopotamia. He was going to follow the ways of Baal and sacrifice Issac but then the real God stopped him. people hate religion because they don’t understand it. They think it is bad because of bad people following it. because humans are the first conscious beings on the planet we began to realize death existed and then we became mentally ill. Soon we will reach the Technological Singularity and cure all mental illness and cure death. Ray Kurzweil’s IQ is 170, he is Jewish and he is an INFJ like me. He is my hero. I love Anime and Japan but I am not autistic. I have schizoaffective disorder. East Asians are not Autistic, they just have less mental illness than we do. they are not blobs of jello drooling at ways. They do meditation and heal their minds.

I think that Chanda has shown that there is no way the IQ for Gabon is that low. Lynn’s numbers are garbage. At least no one is talking about the “IQ data” for Equatorial Guinea, which is the IQ for retarded Spanish school children.

Fact of the matter is his IQ data should be taken with a grain of salt.
I do believe he’s proven that the Igbo have pretty high IQs though.

I’m actually trying to write a brief rebuttal to Chanda (as you suggested) but I don’t have access to one of his sources. You told me how to access papers before but I have to dig up your comment explaining it.
Lynn’s numbers might be garbage in the sense that the Raven is not a sufficiently culture-fair IQ test to give to Africans, but I think a random sample of black Africans really would score below 70 on the Raven, even if the scores are not valid.

Libgen.io then click on scientific articles then the paper should come up. Click on the cyber option and input the captcha. You then have the paper.

He reminds me quite a lot of the Marxist writings I used to read in college. System of relations, Fordist compromise, means of production vs mode of production etc etc. Very enlightening stuff.
And empirically true. Imperialism is a response to declining agg demand today by our Extractors….just like 100 years ago. But they don’t need commodities or land now…they need debt money.
Santo could do a Phd in Philosophy I would say and a rather good one.
A funny story. Our professor was a marxist who lived as a hermit in the woods for 7 years in Finland before coming to academia. He handed out his papers and when I wrote my first paper he gave me 0 because he thought I had plagiarised the essay because it was that good. And so, I have a terrible grade in an obscure Orientalism module on my transcript. Even though the next term he begrudgingly gave me a first for another paper.
My political science professor leaned on him to tell him I was the real deal. My IMF-bank cartel shakedown racket paper for him is still one of my favourite works.
Edward Said was a bit awry with his musings. Yes, the concept of abstracting someone dehumanises them. Agreed. But, often the abstraction is a better heuristic than spending 20 years studying every tribe in MENA. Is the granularity worth that much.

If you are going to study one MENA tribe in depth though…..let it be the [redacted by PP, April 19, 2017], who have such an obscure history that ‘suprisingly’ ‘nobody’ has researched ‘thoroughly’.

I am surprised how difficult the test is for ppl( after having started giving it to my staff- all white female Russian speakers with university degrees) The results look like something really about brains of the ppl I know, but extreme scores seem to be a bit too much extreme…All pictorial subtests/tests simulating real-life objects and situations like Picture completion etc etc correlate relatively poorly with overall IQ ( despite the approach itself seemed so promising), at least if you test adulds, This is why , I think, the pictorial subtests have been drifting away from core subtests in WAIS throughout the years. So, it would be interesting if the Gestalt test work a bit better, but…In voting section the average goes towards more realistic scores as new folks participate , now it s between 121and 122, right?

Illuminaticat, looking quicly at your blog, i’ve just discovered that i have aphantasia. I never realized it before ! I can control my mind on thinking on staff, even kinky one, but its never images.

I will still try at another time, to be sure i’m not inducing it somehow or just desillusional. That could explain why i draw like a 5 years old child maybe.

Have you seen the very last polls ? They’re crazy !
Good news: seems like Marine Le Pen would lose against Mélenchon, Fillon and Macron in the second run.
Bad news (for me at least): A new, more sophisticated method taking the polls as well as the internet into consideration says the most probable winners of the first run are gonna be Fillon and Le Pen.
Anyway, the next few weeks are gonna be awesome. I’m considering moving some dough in Switzerland or buying some Swiss Francs like many people have already talked me about. The risk of massive cash withdrawals in banks is real in case it’s Le Pen vs. Mélenchon so putting a few hundred Es in our bas de laine might not be unwise.
Also, if you have some freedom in organizing your schedule, think about making time to see what’s gonna happen, I guess the streets are gonna go wild.

LMAO, no the EUR/CHF exchange rate is sensitive to any shock in the big countries of the Eurozone: Germany, France, Italy and to a lesser extent, Spain. The USD is not Europe’s favorite refuge currency and USD assets won’t be as valuable as CHF ones if the Euro drops. The Swiss central bank is already taking measures to prevent the CHF from shooting up in case Le Pen or Mélenchon qualify.

And to the other morons, the most important countries of the Eurozone are Germany, France, Italy and Spain. The last big Euro panic was due to uncertainties surrounding Italian debt. And anyway, it all started with the Greek crisis. So no, there is no irrelevant country in the Eurozone and France is the second power of the monetary union, I guess it is the largest issuer of Euro debt, our exports probably amount to all the exports of the Benelux, Finland, Ireland and Austria combined.
Finland’s economy has been pretty shitty those last years, Sweden and Denmark aint in the Eurozone, Belgium’s debt and deficits are a risk for the exchange rate. the I of PIGS is not Italy but Ireland, Italy is thought to be too big to fail. PIGS is obsolete now in 2017, Spain, Portugal and Ireland have well recovered from the crisis, only Greece remains in difficulties.
Jimmy said:
” 1. the euro will tank ”
France is almost competently irrelevant to the future of the euro.
If France left the EU the euro would be better off for it as France is a basket case.
The fate of the euro is entirely in the hands of Germany and only Germany.
The euro would be a great currency if the eurozone was
Germany
Holland
Belgium
Austria
Luxembourg
Lichtenstein
Ireland
Sweden
Denmark
Finland
I like the prospects of countries like Hungary and Poland but its going to take a while before they stop being liabilities.
France and the PIGS need to be cut loose immediately
But we believe that there are just too many interests tied to the euro for it to fail in the short to immediate term.
If things get really bad then they’ll just downsize the eurozone
when things cool down they’ll bring the rest back
as for the election, if Le Pen gets into the second round i can see a lot of Russian false flag operations happening.
I have a college friend who trades for Societe Generale and he told me that if Le Pen gets into the second round he and his colleagues are going to take a vacation until after the election as they think that things are going to get hot
whenever you see terrorism you must ask ” who benefits ? ”
Le Pen is pro-Rusisan and anti-EU
Seeing the end of the EU is one of Russia’s main geopolitical objectives

James Joyce is essentially a philosopher is aesthetics in many ways. What makes a good story? Not necessarily a complicated form of expression. Thats very solipsist. A story needn’t ‘speak to the human condition’. Jews seem to like looking for motive in everything. That man, Philip Roth is the very worst of that tradition. I hate it. Franzen is a gentile, and does it too.
Gentile fiction and stories, legend and characters traditionally are observational and more yarn like. Aesop’s fables are not psychological studies. They’re at best, simple morality stories about being brave and picking battles smartly.
Extroverted. Really, there’s nothing too complicated about the vast vast majority of human beings and what they want.

I am wrong stating that floresiensis evolved from Erectus.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047248417300866
The results suggest H. floresiensis is a long-surviving relict of an early (>1.75 Ma) hominin lineage and a hitherto unknown migration out of Africa, and not a recent derivative of either H. erectus or H. sapiens.
pumpkinperson said:
More evidence that evolution is progressive. A major example of backwards evolution turns out to be bogus.
RaceRealist said:
Excuse me, I should say that I may be wrong, as I don’t make judgements based on abstracts.
“More evidence that evolution is progressive”
Not really. Now we need to know about this ‘unknown’ migration OoA. One question may have been answered (how floresiensis arose), but, as usual, a whole bunch more questions just got asked.
And I also need to read the paper.
“A major example of backwards evolution turns out to be bogus.”
What do you mean by ‘backwards evolution’? Implying that there is ‘forward’ and ‘backwards’ evolution implies teleology.
I’ve been meaning to get back into this progressive evolution discussion with you.
‘‘I have long been entirely underwhelmed by the standard arguments for
general advantages of increasing complexity in the Darwinian game – adaptive
benefit of more elaborate bodily form in competition for limited resources, for
example. Why should more complex conformations generally prevail? … I can
envisage just as many situations where more elaborate forms might be a hindrance
– more parts to fail, less flexibility because all parts must interact with
precision.” (Gould, 1996)
Look at niche construction theory. That throws a whole wrench into ‘progressive’ evolution.

RaceRealist said:
Oh yea, by the way, they found that floresiensis was more similar to habilis. Which I said was another hypothesis:
There is amazing evidence for dwarfism and gigantism on islands. This is also shown to affect hunter-gatherers. What is known is that H. floresiensis’s skull and brain most closely resemble H. erectus, even after correcting for size (Falk et al, 2005; Baab and McNulty 2009; and Gordon, Neville and Wood 2008). (Lieberman, 2013: 123) Knowing that H. floresiensis didn’t suffer from any diseases that shrank both its body and brain, the only other explanation is that he evolved from either H. erectus, or as posited by primitive hand bones discovered on Flores, that Homo habilis, (literally handy man) somehow made it to Indonesia and swam to Flores. Either way, what we’re worried about here is how the selection for smaller body size occurred from whatever species of hominid predated floresiensis, whether it be habilis or erectus.
As shown in the previous paragraph, there is evidence for island gigantism and dwarfism. So a plausible hypothesis is that either habilis or erectus swam or somehow rafted to Flores and over time due to less kcal on the island combined with the hotter climate and the dwarfism effect from the island, over time floresiensis evolved. Weston and Lister (2009) showed that island dwarfism could more than account for the depressed brain size in floresiensis. They showed that it was mechanistically possible for mammals to evolve smaller brains when compared to a mainland ancestor. This is huge. This makes the hypothesis plausible that floresiensis is either habilis or erectus that evolved isolated on the island Flores.
Solid vindication.
This shows that energy restriction leads to smaller bodies/brains. Like I’ve been saying more months and months.
