Insight Into Human Brain Evolution Through Phylogenetic Analysis And Comparative Genomics
<p>As a species, humans are often considered to be unique among mammals, with respect to their large brain size and enhanced cognitive abilities. Humans are the most encephalized mammals, with a brain that is six times larger than expected relative to body mass. Presumably, it is this high degree …

Molecular Underpinnings of Human Brain Evolution and Cognition at Cellular Resolution
… for publication) titled "Differences in brain gene expression between humans and primates", which has been accepted for publication as a chapter in the book titled "The evolutionary roots of human brain diseases". This chapter is an edited version of the author's own original writing with …

Characterising molecular and cellular mechanisms of human brain evolution using brain organoids
The evolutionary lineage of humans is marked by a rapid expansion in brain size. Efforts to study human brain evolution have characteristically relied on anatomical and genomic comparisons between adult ape brains, meaning that the molecular mechanisms underlying human-specific brain expansion …

THE EVOLUTION OF THE MODERN CONDITION THROUGH THE LENS OF NEURODEVELOPMENT DIVERSITY: INSIGHTS FROM A PARADIGMATIC REWIRING OF GENE REGULATION
Contemporary humans evolved unique cognitive and behavioural skills that are unprecedented in other human lineages. The recent availability of high-quality Neanderthals and Denisovans genomes has enabled the identification of human-derived genetic changes, yet their phenotypic consequences remain …
