Been wondering for a while why so many animals and our old relative the homo Floresiensis grew to be so small on this particular island. Is it to do with natural predators or maybe the food? Anyone have any clue?

I believe it’s because islands are small with a limited amount of food and resources. The bigger you are the more energy you require. That’s not beneficial when on an island with limited food and energy sources. Over time animals and humans shrink to increase their chances of survival on the island. Sometimes meat eaters will change to plant eaters as well
