Brain evolution: new light on old principles |
|
| Authors: | H J Jerison |
| Abstract: | The fossil evidence on the evolution of brains and bodies in mammals shows that there has been a progressive increase in relative brain size accompanied by and correlated with increased diversity among species in relative brain size. Small-brained species have also evolved, but more large-brained species have appeared in successive epochs. |
