What evolutionary pressures would lead to Goblins?

+0
−0

A long time ago homo floresiensis split off into two main groups Goblins and Halflings. Now Goblins are an odd little bunch (here's a rough mock up of what a goblin might look like) and I was wondering what evolutionary pressures would lead to Goblins? some basic characteristics of goblins are:

  • are as intelligent as humans (don't have any behavioral differences compared to humans)
  • are 112.7cm (3.7ft) tall
  • have large noses
  • have big pointy ears
  • have an improved sense of hearing and smell but do have slightly worse eyesight
  • have green skin (possibly due to a symbiotic relationship with a type of moss or algae)
  • have life spans similar to humans though they do reach sexual maturity a bit faster than humans

Note: magic dose not exist in my story
