Pleistocene bow-hunting in Africa and the human mind

South African Journal of Science
Advances in genetic research and palaeoneurology, together with a better understanding of the African archaeological record, demonstrate that aspects of the sapient mind evolved in Pleistocene Africa.

The osteology, palaeoneurology and systematics of Theropod (Dinosauria) material from the Early Cretaceous of Southern England (UK), with emphasis on spinosauridae [PDF]

, 2023
The Early Cretaceous deposits of the Wealden Supergroup (upper Berriasian–lower Aptian) of southern England and the Isle of Wight are an internationally important source of dinosaur material, however theropod remains are generally rare. The aim of this thesis is to describe and interpret theropod specimens – some recently discovered – from southern ...

Palaeoneurological clues to the evolution of defining mammalian soft tissue traits. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
AbstractA rich fossil record chronicles the distant origins of mammals, but the evolution of defining soft tissue characters of extant mammals, such as mammary glands and hairs is difficult to interpret because soft tissue does not readily fossilize. As many soft tissue features are derived from dermic structures, their evolution is linked to that of ...

Endocast of the Late Triassic (Carnian) dinosaur Saturnalia tupiniquim: implications for the evolution of brain tissue in Sauropodomorpha. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2017
The evolutionary history of dinosaurs might date back to the first stages of the Triassic (c. 250–240 Ma), but the oldest unequivocal records of the group come from Late Triassic (Carnian – c. 230 Ma) rocks of South America.

Neurosensory anatomy and function in Seymouria

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
We reconstruct the first virtual cranial endocast and the first complete otic endocasts of Seymouria, revealing no indication of the increased encephalization or braincase ossification typical of more derived crown amniotes. Our results clarify the plesiomorphic condition for carotid innervation in amniotes, with Seymouria showing a similar condition ...

Digital methodologies and palaeoneurology: the case study of two individuals from the palaeontological site of San Teodoro (Messina)

The palaeontological site of San Teodoro (Acquedolci, Messina, Italy) is one of the most important points for the study of palaeoanthropology and palaeoecology of the Final Pleistocene in the Mediterranean area. The cave in the final Epigravettian was used as a burial site and until now were found the human remains of 7 inhumations.

Sulcal pattern variation in extant human endocasts [PDF]

, 2019
International audienceOur knowledge of human brain evolution primarily relies on the interpretation of palaeoneurological evidence. In this context, an endocast or replica of the inside of the bony braincase can be used to reconstruct a timeline of ...

Comparative neuroanatomy of extinct horned turtles (Meiolaniidae) and extant terrestrial turtles (testudinidae), with comments on the palaeobiological implications of selected endocranial features [PDF]

, 2017
Turtles are one of the least explored clades of reptiles with respect to palaeoneuroanatomy. Few detailed descriptions of endocranial features such as the brain morphology or inner ear exist for extant and extinct forms.

Ethmosphenoid endocasts elucidate evolutionary brain divergences and interrelationships of stem tetrapods (Sarcopterygii, Tetrapodomorpha)

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Nearly half of all living vertebrate diversity can be traced back to a single lineage of lobe‐finned fishes (piscine sarcopterygians) that radiated during the Palaeozoic Era. In recent years, the phylogenetic framework of tetrapodomorph fishes has largely stabilized, with the exception of the ‘Osteolepiformes’, the interrelationships of which ...
