Studying genetic mechanisms underlying primate brain morphology can provide insight into the evolution of human brain structure and cognition. In humans, loss-of-function mutations in the gene coding for ASPM (Abnormal Spindle ...
Evolutionary Relationship between Life History and Brain Growth in Anthropoid Primates

Barrickman, Nancy Lynn (2008-09-18)

The pace of life history is highly variable across mammals, and several evolutionary biologists have theorized that the tempo of a species' life history is set by external factors. These factors, such as food availability ...
