Hominin brain size increase has emerged from within-species encephalization

T. A. Puschel, S. L. Nicholson, J. Baker, R. A. Barton, C. Venditti

This study shows that hominin brain size increase over 7 million years came from within-species changes, not between-species differences, and that this trend accelerated over time.

Co-evolutionary dynamics of mammalian brain and body size

C. Venditti, J. Baker, R. A. Barton

This study investigates the co-evolution of brain and body size in mammals, finding a curvilinear relationship and variable evolutionary rates, with primates showing significant increases in relative brain size.

Maternal investment, life histories, and the evolution of brain structure in primates

L. E. Powell, S. E. Street, R. A. Barton

The paper tests hypotheses about brain evolution in primates by analyzing correlations between brain structure, maternal investment, and life history traits.
