‘While our evidence is suggestive, we do not consider it conclusive as yet’

The team hypothesized that humans evolved modern traits as an adaptational response to the need to hunt progressively smaller and quicker prey.

Hunting Large Animals Didn’t Need More Than the Crudest Technology. But Catching Smaller, Fleeter Animals Demanded Advances in Our Brains and Tools

"Each year our excitement grows as to how much more information the site will yield," Emma Stockley told Newsweek.

Professor Kate Britton is embarking on a scientific quest that will revolutionise how we think about our nation’s deepest history and ancient…

Fossil endocasts record features of brains from the past: size, shape, vasculature, and gyrification. These data, alongside experimental and comparative evidence, are needed to resolve questions about brain energetics, cognitive specializations, and developmental plasticity. Through the application of interdisciplinary techniques to the fossil record, paleoneurology has been leading major innovations. Neuroimaging is shedding light on fossil brain organization and behaviors. Inferences about the...
