Abstract:	On the background of the knowledge of brain size and body size of all hominins, the brain size and body size of LB1 are evaluated. It is concluded that the occurrence of a normal hominin induvidual (sic) with this combination of brain size and body size in the Late Pleistocene is improbable (p<0.0001) while its appearance at any time in hominin evolution very unlikely (p<0.001). Thus explanations for the occurrence of Liang Bua skeletal remains alternative to the evolution on Flores of a hitherto unknown hominin species must be sought. A pathology is a likely explanation.
