Re-creating ancient hominid virtual endocasts by CT-scanning
Clinical Anatomy, 2001Probably the first radiographic study of human fossils, that by D. Gorganovic-Kramberger on Neandertal remains from Krapina, Croatia, was published in 1906, only 11 years after Röntgen announced the discovery of X-rays. Many subsequent studies on fossil hominids used regular clinical diagnostic radiological apparatus, as depicted in Atlas of ...

Early hominid brain evolution: a new look at old endocasts
Journal of Human Evolution, 2000Early 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 ...

Further studies on cynodont endocasts (Reptilia--Therapsida).
Zeitschrift fur mikroskopisch-anatomische Forschung, 1981Endocranial casts of the cynodonts Andescynodon mendozensis, Probelesoden sp., Massetognathus pascualis and M. teruggii are studied qualitatively and quantitatively. The former two show large and flat olfactory bulbs, little or no representation of the olfactory peduncles, long and narrow cerebral region and laterally protruding flocculus at the ...

VirtuaL reconstruction of the taung chiLd’s endocast
2013Dans ce travail, nous proposons une reconstruction numérique de l'endocrâne de l'enfant de Taung (Australopithecus africanus), principalement fondée sur l'utilisation d'outils d'analyse d'images automatisés. Dans un premier temps, les surfaces représentant respectivement l'endocrâne naturel et l'arrière du massif facial (dans laquelle la partie la plus

A Digital Collection of Hominoid Endocasts
2014The major focus of this book is to provide the researcher or student with a general overview of the recent advances and updated knowledge regarding human paleoneurological research. In this context, the objective of this chapter is to provide the reader with a series of plates showing endocranial casts of several well-preserved and relevant fossil ...

The endocast morphology of
AbstractObjectivesHomo naledi is near the extreme of small brain size within Homo but is easily recognized as Homo in other aspects of endocast morphology. This study adds new evidence of the endocast morphology of H. naledi by describing the Lesedi Hominin 1 (LES1) endocranium from the Lesedi Chamber and compares it to the previously known H.

Australopithecine Endocast (Taung Specimen, 1924): A New Volume Determination
Science, 1970A redetermination of endocranial volume of the original 1924 Taung australopithecine described by Dart indicates a volume of 405 cubic centimeters, rather than the 525 cubic centimeters published earlier. The adult volume is estimated to have been 440 cubic centimeters.

A reanalysis of the South African australopithecine natural endocasts
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1980AbstractSulcal patterns of six previously available South African australopithecine natural endocasts are reexamined and compared to sulcal patterns of 17 human, 12 gorilla and six chimpanzee brains. In addition, a seventh natural endocast, from STS 58, is described for the first time and compared to an artificial endocast from the same specimen. Using

Aegyptopithecus endocasts: Oldest record of a pongid brain
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1973AbstractIncomplete endocasts of Aegyptopithecus, one of the oldest known pongids. indicate that by 26 to 28,000,000 years ago the pongid brain was advanced over that of most prosimians in having relatively more visual cortex, relatively smaller olfactory bulbs and a well developed central sulcus, and in being relatively larger.
