Dwarfing

“A close relationship between Homo erectus and Homo floresiensis is rejected, which contradicts the proposal that island dwarfing of Asian Homo erectus led to Homo floresiensis,” the study, published in the Journal of Human Evolution on Friday, concluded. (The Guardian.)

Did "the proposal that island dwarfing of Asian Homo erectus led to Homo floresiensis" mean that the proposal was that the island (Flores), by its limitation, dwarfed Asian Homo Erectus?
