The relatively tiny brain size only 18,000 years ago does not fit into known patterns of hominid brain size and development. It is "off the chart." Advanced Search ...

Scientists prefer to chart brain evolution not simply by its raw increase in weight, but in how large the brain becomes in proportion to the rest of the body. For a mammal our size, we humans have ...

In the millions of years of evolution, humans developed strong muscles for hunting and gathering, digestion to get the most nutrients from food and the skills to make tools for all their needs. All of ...

What makes humans so smart? For a long time the answer was simple: our big brains.

Seymour and colleagues focused on the carotid arteries, the vessels that deliver the bulk of the brain’s blood. The team looked at nearly three dozen skulls from 12 hominid species from the last ...

Indeed, for most of our lineage's existence--which, by current estimates, spans some six million years--hominid brain size was decidedly apelike. Around two million years ago, however, the human ...

Seymour’s team based the rate of blood flow on the size of the two holes in the base of hominid skulls that allow arteries to reach the brain. They found that while brain size increased by about ...
