Variation in human brains may facilitate evolutionary change toward a limited range of phenotypes.

Brain, behavior and evolution - 1 Jan 2013

Charvet Christine J, Darlington Richard B, Finlay Barbara L

Abstract excerpt

Individual variation is the foundation for evolutionary change, but little is known about the nature of normal variation between brains. Phylogenetic variation across mammalian brains is characterized by high intercorrelations in brain region volumes, distinct allometric scaling for each brain region and the relative independence of olfactory and limbic structure volumes from the rest of the brain.
