But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 182, Issue 3, Page 412-427, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Objectives The diploic venous system has been hypothesized to be related to human brain evolution, though its evolutionary trajectory and physiological functions remain largely unclear. This study examines the characteristics of the diploic venous channels (DCs) in a selection of well‐preserved Homo neanderthalensis and Upper Paleolithic Homo ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 180, Issue 4, Page 768-776, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Objectives Two decades ago, Rilling and Seligman, hereafter abbreviated to RAS Study, suggested modern humans had relatively larger temporal lobes for brain size compared to other anthropoids. Despite many subsequent studies drawing conclusions about the evolutionary implications for the emergence of unique cerebral specializations in Homo ...

Neuroanatomy of the mekosuchine crocodylian Trilophosuchus rackhami Willis, 1993
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 241, Issue 4, Page 981-1013, October 2022., 2022 This study described the neuroanatomy of the mekosuchine crocodylian Trilophosuchus rackhami from the Middle Miocene of Australia. Although the neuromorphology of Trilophosuchus rackhami follows the general patterns seen in crocodylomorphs, it is nevertheless characterized by a unique combination of features that stand out among currently known taxa ...

Measuring the shape. Performance evaluation of a photogrammetry improvement applied to the Neanderthal skull Saccopastore 1 [PDF]
, 2018 Several digital technologies are nowadays developed and applied to the study of the human fossil record. Here, we present a low-cost hardware implementation of the digital acquisition via photogrammetry, applied to a specimen of paleoanthropological ...
