AbstractThe endocranial cast of Tetonius homunculus, a 55 million year old tarsioid primate, is primitive in having relatively large olfactory bulbs and small frontal lobes, but remarkably advanced for an Early Eocene mammal in its voluminous occipital and temporal lobes.

Optimizing Newborn Primate Endocast Reconstruction in 3DSlicer
The FASEB Journal, 2022Natural and artificial endocasts have been used for decades to enable researchers to visualize the endocranial space and approximate the morphology of internal soft tissue structures. Producing an endocast of the newborn primate skull is made difficult by the large fontanelle spaces between growing bones. As there is no definitive endocranial boundary,

On a new australopithecine partial endocast
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1979AbstractA newly discovered right parietal/temporal/frontal fragment from an australopithecine natural endocast is described and compared to other australopithecine endocasts. This specimen shows that the central sulcus was arched, rather than straight as previously believed, and reveals frontal lobe convolutions not preserved in other australopithecine

Brief communication: New reconstruction of the Taung endocast
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2007AbstractEarlier reconstructions of the Taung endocast, from the juvenile type specimen for Australopithecus africanus, were achieved without benefit of the advanced computer technology that is available today and before morphological differences were identified that distinguish endocasts of Paranthropus from those of A. africanus.

The Neanderthal endocast from Gánovce (Poprad, Slovak Republic).
Journal of anthropological sciences = Rivista di antropologia : JASS, 2019A Neanderthal endocast, naturally formed by travertine within the crater of a thermal spring, was found at Gánovce, near Poprad (Slovakia), in 1926, and dated to 105 ka. The endocast is partially covered by fragments of the braincase. The volume of the endocast was estimated to be 1320 cc. The endocast was first studied by the Czech paleoanthropologist

Ape‐like endocast of “ape‐man” Taung
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1989AbstractI have identified and illustrated a spherical “dimple” or “depression” on the Taung endocast as indicating the most likely position of the medial end of the lunate sulcus but have not drawn an actual lunate sulcus on Taung because one is not visible. In a recent paper, R.L. Holloway (Am. J. Phys. Anthropol.

The Taung endocast: A reply to Holloway
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1983AbstractIndices of rostrality (ir, ir′) are developed to assess the extent to which the medial end of the lunate sulcus (L) is rostrally positioned in photographs and figures of lateral views of primate brains and endocasts, and indices are determined for chimpanzees, SK 1585 and the Taung endocast.

LB1’s virtual endocast, microcephaly, and hominin brain evolution
Journal of Human Evolution, 2009Earlier observations of the virtual endocast of LB1, the type specimen for Homo floresiensis, are reviewed, extended, and interpreted. Seven derived features of LB1's cerebral cortex are detailed: a caudally-positioned occipital lobe, lack of a rostrally-located lunate sulcus, a caudally-expanded temporal lobe, advanced morphology of the lateral ...

1982
One of the major themes of this volume is to underscore current efforts to synthesize the fields of comparative neurology and paleoneurology. In recent years, primate paleoneurologists have used cortical maps determined by neurophysiologists to interpret fossil endocasts (Falk, 1981; Gurche, this volume; Radinsky, 1972, 1975, 1979).

Cerebral brain endocast pattern of Australopithecus afarensis hominid
Nature, 1983It is rare for cerebral convolutional details to be imprinted on the internal table of cranial bone of fossil hominids. To date, the South African examples have shown the best detail, although surrounded by considerable controversy. Given that the Hadar specimens are the oldest hominids known (3-4 Myr BP), and have been the subject of considerable ...
