The majority of reported cases of<unk>  have been in people with Semitic origins, almost all of them being Jews or assimilated descendants of Jews. Numerous<unk>  patients are found in Israel among the country's diverse Jewish population composed of Jews from around the world, as well as patients outside Israel originally from communities of the Jewish diaspora, such as Egypt and Iraq. The original "Israeli cohort" of patients referred to Zvi<unk>  and colleagues beginning in 1958 consisted of 64 patients as of 2009, including 4 deceased patients. The countries of origin of these patients include Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, Malta, Italy, Argentina, Ecuador, and Peru. There is also a disproportionate number of sufferers found in remote villages in the Loja province of Ecuador who are descended from colonial-era Jewish-origin New Christian conversos (Sephardi Jews who themselves, or whose forebears, had been compelled to convert to Catholicism back in Spain) who had covertly migrated to Ecuador during the Spanish Conquest despite the Spanish Crown's prohibition of their emigration to its colonies and territories as a result of the Inquisition. Other patients include people of other Semitic non-Jewish origins, including from Saudi Arabia, Japan, and China. Homo floresiensis Recent publications have proposed that Homo floresiensis represented a population with widespread<unk> , based upon the many similarities of skeletal remains found in Indonesia with<unk> . This is only one of several competing hypotheses, and has received criticism as insufficient to explain the "range features observed in H. floresiensis". Similar postulates have been proposed regarding the Pygmies of Central Africa.
