Excessive asymmetry of the human endocast in the context of evolutionary changes in hominids
Human brain (especially the posterior part of the perisylvian region) reveals higher level of asymmetry than the brain in non-human primates and is likely to favour the appearance of specialized cognitive abilities in humans. Nevertheless, the factors leading to the appearance of pronounced brain a...

| الملخص: | Human brain (especially the posterior part of the perisylvian region) reveals higher level of asymmetry than the brain in non-human primates and is likely to favour the appearance of specialized cognitive abilities in humans. Nevertheless, the factors leading to the appearance of pronounced brain asymmetry in the genus Homo and different brain structures among hominids are still unclear. The new END-ASYM project will investigate whether the causes of excessive brain asymmetry in the genus Ho... |
