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

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 Role of Endocasts in the Study of Brain Evolution
2017Endocasts are windows into deep history and as such provide modern neuroscience a more complete appreciation of: (1) the brain's evolutionary potential (by allowing sampling of extinct lineages) and (2) the origins of modern neurological disparity.

Endocasts: Possibilities and Limitations for the Interpretation of Human Brain Evolution
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2014Brains are not preserved in the fossil record but endocranial casts are. These are casts of the internal bony braincase, revealing approximate brain size and shape, and they are also informative about brain surface morphology. Endocasts are the only direct evidence of human brain evolution, but they provide only limited data (‘paleoneurology').

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 ...

On the Making of Endocasts: The New and the Old in Paleoneurology
2017Making endocasts with latex rubber has been around for many years. This chapter describes my methods which were not original and some of the experiences encountered. Other methods, using plaster of Paris, various silicon-based rubbers, and Admold (dental caulk), for sectioned crania are examined and their relative merits and problems compared, such as ...
