Early primate brains: Facts and fiction
The fossil evidence of anthropoid brain evolution
The endocast of Aegyptopithecus , a 27 million year old ape, reveals that its brain was advanced over that of prosimians and comparable to that of modern anthropoids in relative size and in having expanded visual cortex, reduced olfactory bulbs, and a central sulcus separating primary somatic sensory and motor cortex. The early appearance of those features suggests that they may have been among the adaptations responsible for the evolution of ant…
Aegyptopithecus endocasts: Oldest record of a pongid brain
Incomplete endocasts of Aegyptopithecus , one of the oldest known pongids. indicate that by 26 to 28,000,000 years ago the pongid brain was advanced over that of most prosimians in having relatively more visual cortex, relatively smaller olfactory bulbs and a well developed central sulcus, and in being relatively larger. The brain of Aegyptopithecus was more primitive than that of modern anthropoids in having a relatively smaller frontal lobe. Th…
The oldest primate endocast
The endocranial cast of Tetonius homunculus , a 55 million year old tarsioid primate, is primitive in having relatively large olfactory bulbs and small frontal lobes, but remarkably advanced for an Early Eocene mammal in its voluminous occipital and temporal lobes. Expansion of occipital and temporal cortical regions of the brain suggests improvement in visual and auditory function, which may have been an important factor in the Early Eocene radi…
