you have to admit that it is still a strange occurance. I was actually looking for the definitions due to seeing those who are misproportioned or what we are taught are not standard proportions. Warped space is an interesting concept.....there could be other attributable factors such as environmental conditions....I believe the midgets were mentioned in egyptology, they ruled egypt as some point in time, proportioned but smaller. Normally, I was taught somehow could have been mass media that they are associated with the traveling carnival shows. Barnum and Bailey and such, but there are other instances of association and if they were indeed with the carnival show it would have been the larger animals not native to this continent, except for the bear I believe. It's kind of odd....I was actually thinking that the misproportioned maybe somehow connected to darwinism or to something that no one has actually brought up for a while, the training of primates for space flight. It is not meant to insult it is an idea...there are several points to this and a lot of information.... it's theoretical because, I don't have access to this type of information ...they had to train the primates somehow, light could affect growth ..... the larger cranium is not limited to dwarves not by a long shot but the body is proportioned. There are too many factors to be looked at and no access.....parentage: alcohol, drug use, atmospheric conditions, exposure to light levels, parents access to certain chemicals or biochemicals etc.... For some reason, it just reminded me of those buildings, usually old wooden shacks, tourist attractions, where you are actually leaning and other objects can lean if set straight, or balls will roll on what looks like a level surface or the water runs at an observable angle... it's as if gravity were adjusted during growth or nutrients were denied in certain areas, which could be neurological or in the cerebellum. What does the larger cranium tell us, it would have been the actual head size. It may appear large, but it may indeed not be large due to the way we view someone... the cranium size could be quite normal and their could indeed be external factors.. I would not call that a defect or give it any technical name....there are differences in cranium size, in bone structure all over, I noted even in oriental art the depictions of emperors were usually large headed.. I found a book Psychology Today from 1962 (available online at Penn State, search for online books) it indicated the study of cranium size differences went the way of the carnival shows. Why this would not be an interest to medical science...well those were the psycho-delic sixties.... technologies are many things......Gravitational distortion occurs in certain locations, also magnetic fields distort with sound or light.... of course there are always always always the other "sciences" nanotechnologies would be one that I am admantly opposed to.... for some reason we don't know what we are ourselves but we will create something and claim it will listen and do certain things like green the grass.....
