Quantitative genetics of relative organ weight variation in captive baboons.

Human biology - 1 Dec 1993

Mahaney M C, Williams-Blangero S, Blangero J, Leland M M

Abstract excerpt

Anthropoid phylogeny has been characterized by dramatic increases in relative brain size. Given the importance of genetic mechanisms in evolution, quantitative genetic analyses of the biological concomitants of relative brain size variation should greatly augment our understanding of this phylogenetic phenomenon. In humans the brain is often linked metabolically with three other organs--heart, kidneys, and...
