Pleistocene bow-hunting in Africa and the human mind [PDF]
South African Journal of ScienceAdvances 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 ...

Zoological Journal of the Linnean SocietyAbstract This study examines the brain morphology of Pliocene specimens of the South American Echimyidae rodent Eumysops chapalmalensis through virtual endocasts and comparisons with extant members of the family. Shape variation is analysed through geometric morphometrics, and the relative sizes of the brain and its components are ...

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 ...

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 ...
