The fossil record of primate intelligence: From the earliest primates to human origins
Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual ReviewAnimals collect and process the information they need to survive and reproduce. The means by which they process information is through the capacity of intelligence, which is in turn a function of the brain, its morphology, size, organization, and ...

Extreme and rapid bursts of functional adaptations shape bite force in amniotes [PDF]
, 2019 Adaptation is the fundamental driver of functional and biomechanical evolution. Accordingly, the states of biomechanical traits (absolute or relative trait values) have long been used as proxies for adaptations in response to direct selection.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3685-3716, December 2024.Abstract Recent years have seen increasing scientific interest in whether neuron counts can act as correlates of diverse biological phenomena. Lately, Herculano‐Houzel (2023) argued that fossil endocasts and comparative neurological data from extant sauropsids allow to reconstruct telencephalic neuron counts in Mesozoic dinosaurs and pterosaurs, which ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 185, Issue 2, October 2024.Abstract This paper presents a detailed analysis of the endocast of one of the most complete Paranthropus robustus crania known, DNH 7, from the Drimolen site (South Africa), and compares it with the morphology of other australopithecine endocasts. We focus on endocranial volume, the impressions of cortical sulci, cranial sutures, and the pattern of ...
