  2. Brain size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_size

    From early primates to hominids and finally to Homo sapiens, the brain gets progressively larger - with the exception of extinct Neanderthals whose brain size exceeded that of modern Homo sapiens. The volume of the human brain has increased as humans have evolved (see Homininae), starting from about 600 cm 3 in Homo habilis up to 1680 cm 3 in ...

  3. Expensive tissue hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expensive_Tissue_Hypothesis

    The expensive tissue hypothesis (ETH) relates brain and gut size in evolution (specifically in human evolution).It suggests that in order for an organism to evolve a large brain without a significant increase in basal metabolic rate (as seen in humans), the organism must use less energy on other expensive tissues; the paper introducing the ETH suggests that in humans, this was achieved by ...

  4. Australopithecus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australopithecus

    The brains of most species of Australopithecus were roughly 35% of the size of a modern human brain [39] with an endocranial volume average of 466 cc (28.4 cu in). [13]

  5. List of animals by number of neurons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_by_number...

    The human brain contains 86 billion neurons, with 16 billion neurons in the cerebral cortex. [ 2 ] [ 1 ] Neuron counts constitute an important source of insight on the topic of neuroscience and intelligence : the question of how the evolution of a set of components and parameters (~10 11 neurons, ~10 14 synapses) of a complex system leads to ...

  6. Evolution of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_brain

    The evolutionary history of the human brain shows primarily a gradually bigger brain relative to body size during the evolutionary path from early primates to hominins and finally to Homo sapiens. This trend that has led to the present day human brain size indicates that there has been a 2-3 factor increase in size over the past 3 million years ...

  7. Cerebral rubicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_rubicon

    The minimum cranial capacity for the species Homo sapiens is generally set at 900cc. [ 1 ] One of the reasons for the proposal to exclude Homo habilis from the genus Homo , and renaming it as " Australopithecus habilis ", is the small capacity of their cranium (363cc -600 cc).

  8. Australopithecine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australopithecine

    They exhibited greater sexual dimorphism than members of Homo or Pan but less so than Gorilla or Pongo. It is thought that they averaged heights of 1.2–1.5 metres (3.9–4.9 ft) and weighed between 30 and 55 kilograms (66 and 121 lb). The brain size may have been 350 cc to 600 cc. The postcanines (the teeth behind the canines) were relatively ...

  9. Interbreeding between archaic and modern humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbreeding_between...

    Looking at heterozygous individuals (carrying both Neanderthal and modern human versions of a gene), the allele-specific expression of introgressed Neanderthal alleles was found to be significantly lower in the brain and testes relative to other tissues. [5] [49] In the brain, this was most pronounced at the cerebellum and basal ganglia. [49]
