Possibly based on remains found of small hominids, such as homo floriensis, although I don't believe any hard evidence has been found. Edit: Wikipedia spells it out: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menehune One paragraph is of particular interest, but without citation it's hearsay: "The works attributed to the Menehune, however, are of advanced design, including dressed stone, and apparent antiquity, predating known peoples; no alternate explanation has been accepted for their construction."
