In addition to a small body size, H. floresiensis had a remarkably small brain size. LB1's brain is estimated to have had a volume of 380 cm 3 (23 cu in), placing it at the range of chimpanzees or the extinct australopithecines. [1] [48] LB1's brain size is less than half that of its presumed immediate ancestor, H. erectus (980 cm 3 (60 cu in ...
