Key MethodEarly hominid brain morphology is reassessed from endocasts of Australopithecus africanus and three species of Paranthropus, and new endocast reconstructions and cranial capacities are reported for four key specimens from the Paranthropus clade. The brain morphology of Australopithecus africanus appears more human like than that of Paranthropus in terms of overall frontal and temporal lobe shape. These new data do not support the proposal that increased encephalization is a shared feature…Expand

Endocasts: Possibilities and Limitations for the Interpretation of Human Brain Evolution
TLDR
This review discusses some new fossil endocasts and recent methodological advances that have allowed novel analyses of old endocast, leading to intriguing findings and hypotheses. Expand
4.06 – Differences in Brain Organization Between Neanderthals and Modern Humans
TLDR
This work focuses on the only available direct evidence: the comparative analysis of modern human and Neanderthal endocasts, which reveal shape differences that are suggestive of differences in brain organization. Expand
The endocranial shape of Australopithecus africanus: surface analysis of the endocasts of Sts 5 and Sts 60
TLDR
The primary aim in this study is to explore the organization of the Australopithecus afAfricanus endocasts, and highlight the nature and extent of the differences distinguishing A. africanus from the extant hominids at both local and global scales. Expand
Interpreting sulci on hominin endocasts: old hypotheses and new findings
  • D. Falk
  • Psychology, Medicine
  • Front. Hum. Neurosci.
  • 2014
TLDR
The comparative and direct evidence for all three regions suggests that hominin brain reorganization was underway by at least the time of Australopithecus africanus, despite the ape-sized brains of these hominins, and that it entailed expansion of both rostral and caudal association cortices. Expand
The hominin fossil record and the emergence of the modern human central nervous system
TLDR
The methods used to reconstruct the central nervous system (CNS) of extinct hominin taxa are described and evaluated, focusing on evidence related to the evolution of the CNS. Expand
Hominin paleoneurology: where are we now?
  • D. Falk
  • Biology, Medicine
  • Progress in brain research
  • 2012
TLDR
Advances in knowledge about the evolution of the prefrontal cortex provide an example of a productive synthesis of comparative neuroanatomical and behavioral research with investigations of the fossil record of hominin endocasts. Expand
Pandora's growing box: Inferring the evolution and development of hominin brains from endocasts
TLDR
New fossil finds permit a denser sampling of hominin endocranial morphologies along ontogenetic and evolutionary time lines and new brain imaging methods provide the basis for quantifying endocast‐brain relationships and tracking endocransial and brain growth and development noninvasively. Expand
Hominins and the emergence of the modern human brain.
TLDR
Data from the paleoarcheological and paleoneurological records are described and summarized to characterize fossil hominin taxa in terms of brain structure and function and to summarize brain evolution in the human lineage. Expand
Metopic suture of Taung (Australopithecus africanus) and its implications for hominin brain evolution
TLDR
The data indicate that hominin brain evolution occurred within a complex network of fetopelvic constraints, which required modification of frontal neurocranial ossification patterns. Expand
The Brain of LB1, Homo floresiensis
TLDR
Morphometric, allometric, and shape data indicate that LB1 is not a microcephalic or pygmy and has derived frontal and temporal lobes and a lunate sulcus in a derived position which are consistent with capabilities for higher cognitive processing. Expand

TLDR
New analysis of paleoanatomical evidence indicates that at least two taxa of early hominids coexisted in East Africa. Expand
Hominid Brain Evolution: Looks Can Be Deceiving
  • D. Falk
  • Biology, Medicine
  • Science
  • 1998
TLDR
The measured value of cranial capacity of a new specimen of Australopithecus africanus is significantly less than expected, and Falk suggests this will cause a major reevaluation of previous measurements of hominid skulls and a profound alteration in the understanding of brain evolution. Expand
New australopithecine endocast, SK 1585, from Swartkrans, South Africa
The new SK 1585 endocast, found by Dr. Brain at Swartkrans, 1966, is that of a robust australopithecine, matching the endocast of the Olduvai Hominid 5 in volume, and being almost identical to it in… Expand
Human paleontological evidence relevant to language behavior.
TLDR
Additional evidence of sexual dimorphism in the modern human corpus callosum, in which the posterior splenial portion is larger in females, taken in conjunction with known clinical and psychological evidence relating to cognitive task specialization, suggests that thisDimorphism represents a biological heritage from past selection pressures for a dichotomous but complemental social behavioral set of adaptations to favor a division of sexual labors. Expand
Endocranial capacity in an early hominid cranium from Sterkfontein, South Africa.
TLDR
Two- and three-dimensional computer imaging shows that endocranial capacity in an approximately 2.8- to 2.6-million-year-old early hominid cranium from Sterkfontein, South Africa, tentatively assigned to Australopithecus africanus, is approximately 515 cubic centimeters, which is markedly less than anecdotal reports of endocrinial capacity exceeding 600 cubic centimeters. Expand
New Australopithecus boisei specimens from east and west Lake Turkana, Kenya.
TLDR
New specimens of Plio-Pleistocene Australopithecus boisei are described from east and west Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya and enable us to decipher, for the first time, some of the in situ evolution of this species within the Turkana Basin. Expand
Endocranial features of Australopithecus africanus revealed by 2- and 3-D computed tomography.
TLDR
Results show that endocranial capacity in this specimen is less than originally proposed and also support the view that gracile and robust australopithecines evolved different cranial venous outflow patterns in response to upright postures. Expand
New Endocranial Values for the East African Early Hominids
THIS is a preliminary report on research carried out during 1971 and 1972 on the endocranial values of some East African hominids from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, and East Lake Rudolf, Kenya. The… Expand
Cranial capacity of a female robust australopithecine (KNM-ER 407) from Kenya
TLDR
The KNM-ER 407 calvaria represents a female robust australopithecine from East Africa, and water displacements of both endocasts yielded a mean cranial capacity of 506 cc, which is consistent with the cranial capacities of four other robust australspinecines. Expand
Body proportions of Australopithecus afarensis and A. africanus and the origin of the genus Homo.
TLDR
New discoveries of A. africanus fossils from Member 4 Sterkfontein reveal a body form quite unlike earlier Australopithecus species, and postcranial material reveals an apparently primitive morphology of relatively large forelimb and small hindlimb joints resembling more the pongid than the human pattern.
