Virtual Specialness of certain graphs of special cube complexes [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We investigate the virtual specialness of a compact cube complex $X$ that splits as a graph of nonpositively curved cube complexes. We prove virtual specialness of $X$ when each vertex space of $X$ has word-hyperbolic $\pi_1$ and $\pi_1X$ has ``finite stature'' relative to its edge groups.

Selection for smaller brains in Holocene human evolution [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Background: Human populations during the last 10,000 years have undergone rapid decreases in average brain size as measured by endocranial volume or as estimated from linear measurements of the cranium. A null hypothesis to explain the evolution of brain size is that reductions result from genetic correlation of brain size with body mass or stature ...
