Dr. Pinker believes that human nature "will increasingly be explained by the sciences of mind, brain, genes and evolution".
The scaling of brain metabolism has important implications for brain function and evolution.
David Linden's is brasher: How Brain Evolution Has Given Us Love, Memory, Dreams, and God.
Metopic suture of Taung (Australopithecus africanus) and its implications for hominin brain evolution.
Overall, our approach based on phylogenetic allometry and rate of phenotypic evolution analyses suggests that brain evolution in Tanganyikan cichlids mainly follows a mosaic model.
To recognize the importance of brain evolution for human evolution.
For over a decade researchers interested in the genetic basis of brain evolution have sought clues in the molecular evolution of genes associated with the neurodevelopmental disorder, primary microcephaly [ 1- 8].
Our inference of possible selection on the RFC2 gene also suggests that this gene, thus far neglected in studies of Williams syndrome, may play a role in the evolution of primate neurodevelopment, brain size evolution, and in the etiology of this syndrome.
Songbirds offer unique opportunities for studying the links between genome, brain structure, neurophysiology, behavior and evolution.
