ALTHOUGH THE STUDY of the human brain is a rapidly developing and expanding science, we must take pause to examine the historical and evolutionary events that helped shape the brain of Homo sapiens. From an examination of the human lineage to a discussion of evolutionary principles, we describe the basic principles and theories behind the evolution of the human brain. Specifically, we examine several theories concerning changes in overall brain size during hominid evolution and relate them to…

A New Method of Estimating Brain Mass Through Cranial Capacity in Extinct Proboscideans to Account for the Non-Neural Tissues Surrounding Their Brain
TLDR
This data set suggests that a comparatively small brain is likely primitive for Proboscidea and that the representatives of the clade Elephantimorpha have inherited their large brain from their last common ancestor.
The brain-artefact interface (BAI): a challenge for archaeology and cultural neuroscience.
TLDR
It is argued that a key challenge for archaeology and cultural neuroscience lies in the cross-disciplinary understanding of the processes by which the authors' plastic enculturated brains become constituted within the wider extended networks of non-biological artefacts and cultural practices that delineate the real spatial and temporal boundaries of the human cognitive map.
Selection played a role in the evolution of the human chin.

Transposable element insertions have strongly affected human evolution
  • R. Britten
  • Biology
    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • 2010
TLDR
The proposed model is that the many TE insertions created many potentially effective changes and those selected were responsible for a part of the striking human lineage evolution.
Craniofacial morphology in ancient and modern Greeks through 4,000 years.
TLDR
The present study confirms that the morphological pattern of Greek skulls, as it changed during thousands of years, kept some characteristics unchanged, with others undergoing logical modifications.
Evolutionary hypothesis for Chiari type I malformation.
MACROSCOPIC, MICROSCOPIC AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF ENCEPHALON IN TRAUMA PATIENTS EXAMINED BY FORENSIC MEDICINE
  • Medicine
  • 2016
TLDR
Using nanofiltration membranes for the recovery of phosphorous with a second type of technology for the removal of nitrogen is suggested to be a viable process.
Anatomía Cerebral del mono araña Ateles geoffroyi estudiada utilizando imágenes de resonancia magnética. Primer reporte: estudio comparativo con el cerebro humano Homo Sapiens
TLDR
Las estructuras mas parecidas fueron encontradas en el sistema limbico, sin embargo the curvatura cervical, the amigdala, el hipocampo, the comisura anterior and the coliculo fueran mas grandes proporcionalmente en el mono arana que en el humano.

Principles of brain evolution.
TLDR
This book discusses evolutionary changes in Overall Brain Size Changes in Relative Brain Size Mechanisms of Brain-body Scaling Functional Correlates of Relative Brain size Changes in Absolute Brain Size Constraints and Compromises.
Evolution of the brain and intelligence
Human Evolution: A Very Short Introduction
  • B. Wood
  • Geography, Environmental Science
  • 1978
TLDR
The aim of this book is to provide a chronology of key events in the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens from hunter-gatherers to present day, and to clarify the role of language and culture in this process.
Encephalization and allometric trajectories in the genus Homo: Evidence from the Neandertal and modern lineages
TLDR
The origin of the authors' species may have represented the opportunity to surpass the constraints imposed on encephalization by the ontogenetic pattern shared by nonmodern Homo representatives, and two different evolutionary trajectories are identified.
Allometry in primates, with emphasis on scaling and the evolution of the brain.
  • S. Gould
  • Biology
    Contributions to primatology
  • 1975
TLDR
Three methods recently used in bivariate allometry are discussed: RADINSKY'S foramen magnum criterion; Jerison's minimum convex polygons and cephalization quotients; and the indices of progression in comparison with 'basal' insectivores' of BAUCHOT, Stephan and their colleagues.
Human Selective Brain Cooling
This book is about a hot debate that has divided the community of temperature physiologists for the last fifteen years: the question of human selective brain cooling. It is well accepted that in…
Brains, bodies and metabolism.
The interrelationship of brain and body sizes has been the subject of investigations for over a hundred years. These studies have demonstrated that variation in brain weights is much smaller than…
Brain evolution in Homo: The “radiator” theory
  • D. Falk
  • Biology
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences
  • 1990
TLDR
The radiator theory is in keeping with the belief that basal gracile and basal robust australopithecines occupied distinct niches, with the former living in savanna mosaic habitats that were subject to hot temperatures and intense solar radiation during the day.
Body mass and encephalization in Pleistocene Homo
TLDR
It is shown that two independent methods of body-mass estimation yield concordant results when applied to Pleistocene Homo specimens, and on the basis of an analysis of 163 individuals, body mass in Pleistsocene Homo averaged significantly (about 10%) larger than a representative sample of living humans.
Primates, brains and ecology
TLDR
The paper examines systematic relationships among primates between brain size (relative to body size) and differences in ecology and social system and the adaptive significance of these relationships is discussed.
