# Island Rule, quantitative genetics and brain-body size evolution in Homo floresiensis

José Alexandre Felizola Diniz-Filho, Pasquale Raia, 2017. _Proceedings of the Royal Society B 284(1857): 20171065_.

Models brain and body size reduction under the island rule with quantitative genetics and asks whether a H. erectus population could reach floresiensis proportions in the time available; finds it could, quickly.
