Big Birds and Their Brains: Paleoneurology of the New Zealand Moa

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2007
The moa (Dinornithiformes: Aves) are an extinct group of ratites from the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The ancestors of both the moa and the kiwi were isolated from other Gondwanan fauna as much as 80 million years ago and evolved in the absence of large mammalian predators.

Human Paleoneurology and the Evolution of the Parietal Cortex

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2018
Paleoneurology deals with the study of brain anatomy in fossil species, as inferred from the morphology of their endocranial features. When compared with other living and extinct hominids, <i>Homo sapiens</i> is characterized by larger parietal bones and, according to the paleoneurological evidence, also by larger parietal lobes. The dorsal

Issues in neo- and paleoneurology of language

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995
AbstractWilkins and Wakefield's hypothesis that language is fundamentally a cognitive rather than cominunicational adaptation is reasonable, but there are flaws in their anatomical and fossil evidence. Their analysis of reorganization also needs clarification. Finally, the origin of language ability must have occurred with australopithecine rather than

Paleoneurology: Evolving an everted brain in actinopterygian fishes

Current Biology
The 30,000 or so ray-finned fishes (actinopterygians) are the most diverse group of vertebrates. Yet, their brain is peculiar, with the hemispheres everted unlike in other vertebrates. New fossils suggest how actinopterygian brain architecture evolved.

On the Making of Endocasts: The New and the Old in Paleoneurology

2017
Making 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 ...
