Brain size didn't drive primate evolution, research suggests. Chimpanzees sit in an enclosure at the Chimp Eden rehabilitation center, near Nelspruit, South Africa in this February 2011 photo.

Abstract: Increasing body and brain size constitutes a key macro-evolutionary pattern in the hominin lineage, yet the mechanisms behind these changes remain debated.

In the paper released Tuesday, scientists from George Washington University argue that brain size increased because of three major factors: evolution within hominin populations, the introduction ...

Brain organization, not overall size, may be the key evolutionary difference between primate brains, and the key to what gives humans their smarts, new research suggests. In the study, researchers ...
