features of the postcranial skeleton that are also
found in Australopithecus and Homo habilis.
The “microcephalic dwarf theory” doesn’t fly.

Little people exist now and they are still normal humans except for their size. How do you conclude that so many skeletons found on that island have the same characteristics? Wouldn’t a genetic anomaly actually preclude the endurance of a primitive human species?
