Imaging genomics reveals genetic architecture of the globular human braincase

2024-03-22

Abstract excerpt

Compared with our fossil ancestors and Neandertal kin, modern humans have evolved a distinctive skull shape, with a rounder braincase and more delicate face. Competing explanations for this rounder skull have either linked it to changes in brain organisation, or seen it as a by-product of gracilization (evolution of thinner and lighter skeletal anatomy). Here, we combined palaeoanthropological data from hominin fo...
