Evolutionary Psychology of Spatial Representations in the Hominidae [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 Comparatively little is known about the inherited primate background underlying human cognition, the human cognitive "wild-type." Yet it is possible to trace the evolution of human cognitive abilities and tendencies by contrasting the skills of our nearest cousins, not just chimpanzees, but all the extant great apes, thus showing what we are likely to ...

A novel attention-getting vocalization in zoo-housed western gorillas.
PLoS ONE, 2022 As a critical aspect of language, vocal learning is extremely rare in animals, having only been described in a few distantly related species. New evidence, however, extends vocal learning/innovation to the primate order, with zoo-housed chimpanzees and ...

Comparative Sulcal Morphology of the Late Miocene Fossil Ape, Rudapithecus hungaricus. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives Endocasts of fossil hominoids are exceedingly rare. The only fossil ape endocast analyzed in detail is that of Ekembo nyanzae (KNM‐RU 7290), from the early Miocene of Kenya. Two partial crania of Rudapithecus hungaricus, from the late Miocene of Hungary, preserve sufficient details to reconstruct large amounts of endocranial ...
