DOI: 10.1016/j.cobeha.2017.02.003
Abstract: Abstract Although we share evolutionary history with other primates, examples of apparent cognitive and behavioral discontinuity between humans and other species abound. Neuroanatomical and molecular differences that distinguish the human brain are evident at several… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2200689119
Abstract: Significance Humans are characterized by having very large brains relative to body size. Because gestation is critically linked to brain size, pregnancy is an important but elusive aspect of hominid evolution. We developed two methods… read more here.
