How did the Human Brain Evolve? Tracking Cerebral Changes in the Fossil Hominin Record Using Advanced Imaging Techniques and 3D Modelling
… palaeoneurological studies rely on cranial endocasts, replicas of the internal surface of the braincase, to infer structural changes over time. While subjective interpretations and taxonomic assumptions have limited traditional endocast analyses, recent advances in digital imaging and …

Oviraptorosauria: Morphology, Phylogeny, and Endocranial Evolution
… descriptive morphology of five coelurosaur endocasts (which approximate the shape of the brain in these taxa that effectively filled the endocranial space) and evaluates shared discreet morphological characters with respect to the aforementioned phylogeny. Diagnostic morphologies are found …

Endocranial volume and shape variation in early anthropoid evolution
… geometric morphometric analyses of virtual endocasts constructed from micro-CT scans of primate crania. Fossil taxa included in these analyses are: 1) anthropoids Parapithecus, Aegyptopithecus (Early Oligocene, Egypt), Homunculus and Tremacebus (Early Miocene, Argentina), and 2) Eocene …

Craneología funcional y evolución humana: relaciones estructurales y organización espacial en la evolución de las áreas fronto-parietales
Los humanos modernos se caracterizan por la forma globular del neurocráneo y retracción de la cara, atribuidos generalmente a la encefalización. La proximidad entre cara y cerebro podría implicar un conflicto espacial entre órbitas y lóbulos frontal y temporal. El abultamiento parietal puede …
