Structural organization of the cranial vault in Neanderthals and present-day humans: Can endocranial shape characteristics be explained by vault thickness?

In studies of hominin brain evolution the shape of the interior braincase (or endocranium) is often used to infer cortical organization. However, the braincase is not only shaped by brain, but also by the interplay of evolutionary and developmental changes of facial size and shape, the development...

সংক্ষিপ্ত:In studies of hominin brain evolution the shape of the interior braincase (or endocranium) is often used to infer cortical organization. However, the braincase is not only shaped by brain, but also by the interplay of evolutionary and developmental changes of facial size and shape, the development of soft tissues, and neurocranial bone thickness. It therefore remains unclear to what extent the well-documented endocranial shape differences between the more globular present-day humans and the ...
