Studies of brain evolution have moved rapidly in recent years,
building on the pioneering research of Harry J. Jerison. This book
provides state-of-the-art reviews of primate (including human)
brain evolution. The volume is divided into two sections, the first
offers new perspectives on the developmental, physiological,
dietary, and behavioral correlates of brain enlargement. However,
it has long been recognized that brains do not merely enlarge
globally as they evolve, but that their cortical and internal
organization also changes in a process known as reorganization.
Species-specific adaptations therefore have neurological substrates
that depend on more than just overall brain size. The second
section explores these neurological underpinnings for the senses,
adaptations, and cognitive abilities that are important for
primates. With a prologue by Stephen J. Gould and an epilogue by
Harry J. Jerison, this is an important new reference work for all
those working on primate brain evolution.
