The book presents an integrative review of paleoneurology, the
study of endocranial morphology in fossil species. The main focus
is on showing how computed methods can be used to support advances
in evolutionary neuroanatomy, paleoanthropology and archaeology and
how they have contributed to creating a completely new perspective
in cognitive neuroscience. Moreover, thanks to its
multidisciplinary approach, the book addresses students and
researchers approaching human paleoneurology from different angles
and for different purposes, such as biologists, physicians,
anthropologists, archaeologists and computer scientists. The
individual chapters, written by international experts, represent
authoritative reviews of the most important topics in the field.
All the concepts are presented in an easy-to-understand style,
making them accessible to university students, newcomers and also
to anyone interested in understanding how methods like biomedical
imaging, digital anatomy and computed and multivariate
morphometrics can be used for analyzing ontogenetic and
phylogenetic changes according to the principles of functional
morphology, morphological integration and modularity.
