| Abstract |
In this chapter I discuss the brain size of 'Homo floresiensis in light of the interpretation of changes in both quantities for other hominins from three million years ago to the present. Considering selection against both large brains and against small brains emphasises the likely role of cognition in the evolution of brain size.
