• The human colonisation of Europe: where are we? (2006, background): “New finds will test such forms of consensus and force us to be humble about what we think we know (think about the recent finds from Flores (Brown et al., 2004)).”
• The island rule and a research agenda for studying ecogeographical patterns (2006, background): “…it for a diversity of taxa, ecosystems and geographical regions (McNab, 2001, 2002; Anderson & Handley, 2002; Clegg & Owens, 2002; Boback, 2003; Boback & Guyer, 2003; Schmidt & Jensen, 2003, 2005; Brown et al., 2004; Morwood et al., 2004; Lomolino, 2005; McClain et al., 2006; White & Searle, 2006).”
• Characteristics of Pleistocene megafauna extinctions in Southeast Asia (2007, background): “The Terrace deposits are considered by Colbert (1943) to be Upper Pleistocene in age and consist solely of extant fauna, they are therefore not discussed further here.”
• Body size evolution in insular vertebrates: generality of the island rule (2005, background): “…for anthropologists, biogeographers and evolutionary biologists; see recent reports on dwarfed insular hominins of Flores Island (Brown et al., 2004; Morwood et al., 2004) and earlier work on Bergmann’s rule in human populations (Roberts, 1953, 1978; Bindon & Baker, 1997) and on…”
• Body Size, Body Shape, and the Circumscription of the Genus Homo (2012, background): “…perspective, the Acheulean Industry, which is now known to date as early as 1.76 mya (Lepre et al. 2011), is temporally correlated with zooarchaeological evidence from multiple sites indicative of a shift toward consistent early access to carcasses by hominins (Cachel and Harris 1998).”
• Was southern Central America an archipelago or a peninsula in the middle Miocene? A test using land-mammal body size (2005, background): “Likewise, the recent discovery of Homo floresiensis from the island of Flores in Indonesia offers an intriguing example of dwarfism from within our own genus (Brown et al., 2004).”
• The Late Pleistocene Duoi U’Oi cave in northern Vietnam: palaeontology, sedimentology, taphonomy and palaeoenvironments (2008, background): “The discovery of a new hominid in Flores of around 18ka, Homo floresiensis, has also strongly affected our knowledge of human evolution (Brown et al., 2004; Morwood et al., 2004, 2005).”
• Adaptation and diversification on islands (2009, background): “Interest in dwarfism was heightened by the discovery of a putative new species of small hominid that until recently lived on the island of Flores, in Indonesi”
• Aspects of human physical and behavioural evolution during the last 1 million years (2019, background): “This skeleton and the associated finds of artefacts were initially dated to < 20 ka, and the population concerned was argued to have undergone a process of island dwarfing (Brown et al., 2004; Morwood et al., 2004).”
• A common inversion under selection in Europeans (2005, background): “sapiens probably encountered other hominin species in Asi”
