Evolution of hominin cranial ontogeny
2012Hominin evolution is characterized by two main trends, transition to bipedality and increase in brain size. Fossil evidence shows that both trends had a major impact on the structure and function of the hominin skull. This chapter asks how evolutionary modification of the cranial ontogenetic program led to morphological reorganization of the hominin ...

Evolution of the Prefrontal Cortex in the Hominins
2021Abstract When body weight is taken into account, there was a rapid expansion of the brain during the evolution of the hominins, with the greatest increase occurring from around 400,000 years ago. After this time there is evidence of the bulging of the frontal lobe indicating the further expansion of the prefrontal (PF) cortex.

Major Events in Hominin Evolution
2016The hominin footprint record spans ~3.6 Ma, from Late Pliocene to Holocene, and thus also spans a temporal duration corresponding to many of the major events in hominin evolution. While the oldest (~3.6 Ma) tracks from Laetoli (Tanzania) have been attributed, provisionally, to genus Australopithecus, all others are attributed to various species of the ...
