This seems relatively common among ancient hunter-gatherer societies. We've been watching Prof. Jiang's excellent "Story of Civilization" course on his Predictive History YT channel[1]. In the 2nd or 3rd video, he mentions that the remains of somebody with a rare form of dwarfism were found as part of an ancient hunter-gather tribe, and they had the same levels of nutrition as the able-bodied members of the tribe.
Maybe "primitive" people were not so primitive after all..
