Our ancestors acquired morphological, cognitive and metabolic modifications that enabled
humans to colonize diverse habitats, develop extraordinary technologies and reshape the …

Subdivisions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) evolved at different times. Agranular parts of the
PFC emerged in early mammals, and rodents, primates, and other modern mammals share …

The human brain has undergone substantial change since humans diverged from
chimpanzees and the other great apes,. However, the genetic and developmental programs …

The nervous system—in particular, the brain and its cognitive abilities—is among humans'
most distinctive and impressive attributes. How the nervous system has changed in the …

The human CNS follows a pattern of development typical of all mammals, but certain
neurodevelopmental features are highly derived. Building the human CNS requires the …

Human-like modes of communication, including mutual gaze, in dogs may have been
acquired during domestication with humans. We show that gazing behavior from dogs, but …

The challenge of studying human cognitive evolution is identifying unique features of our
intelligence while explaining the processes by which they arose. Comparisons with …

INTRODUCTION Improved understanding of how the develo** human nervous system
differs from that of closely related nonhuman primates is fundamental for teasing out human …

Relative brain size has long been considered a reflection of cognitive capacities and has
played a fundamental role in develo** core theories in the life sciences. Yet, the notion …

The transcriptional underpinnings of brain development remain poorly understood,
particularly in humans and closely related non-human primates. We describe a high …
