Anencephaly
I was walking by the nursery in the hospital and a nurse passed me a newborn baby. The baby was tiny and first I thought it was premature, but then realized that its head was not fully formed and there was a large dent in the skull. I was a little freaked out when I realized the baby was fully anencephalic, but then decided I would hold him or her anyway, since he or she didn't have long to live.

Geoff says that Floresian dwarf evidence points more towards microcephaly, although he prefers the species argument.
After doing my own reading, I've decided that I might actually be a Floresian dwarf, as they are described as "so recent, so small and apparently so smart."
