Craniofacial skeletal response to encephalization: How do we know what we think we know?” is now available online (Open Access) through the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology. This article, authored by Kate Lesciotto and Dr. Joan Richtsmeier, reviews the changes in brain size during hominin evolution, the hypothesized changes in the morphology of the modern human skull that resulted from encephalization, and the developmental mechanisms involved in both brain and skull development.
