Exploring the origins of the human brain through molecular evolution.

Brain, behavior and evolution - 1 Jan 2008

Vallender Eric J

Abstract excerpt

The emergence of the human brain is one of evolution's most compelling mysteries. With its singular importance and astounding complexity, understanding the forces that gave rise to the human brain is a major undertaking. Recently, the identification and publication of the complete genomic sequenc...
