The human cerebral cortex is vastly expanded relative to other primates and
disproportionately occupied by distributed association regions. Here we offer a hypothesis …

In this review of the evidence for and against taxic diversity within the hominin clade, we
begin by looking at the logic and the history of simple “ladder‐like” interpretations of the …

Imaging intact human organs from the organ to the cellular scale in three dimensions is a
goal of biomedical imaging. To meet this challenge, we developed hierarchical phase …

Homo naledi is a previously-unknown species of extinct hominin discovered within the
Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa. This …

The brains of modern humans differ from those of great apes in size, shape, and cortical
organization, notably in frontal lobe areas involved in complex cognitive tasks, such as …

The site of Dmanisi, Georgia, has yielded an impressive sample of hominid cranial and
postcranial remains, documenting the presence of Homo outside Africa around 1.8 million …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

The study of hominin brain evolution has focused largely on the neocortical expansion and
reorganization undergone by humans as inferred from the endocranial fossil record …

Much attention has focused on the dramatic expansion of the forebrain, particularly the
neocortex, as the neural substrate of cognitive evolution. However, though relatively small …

We raise the new possibility that people diagnosed with developmental dyslexia (DD) are
specialized in explorative cognitive search, and rather than having a neurocognitive …
