  • Comparing the brain anatomy of fossil hominins and extant primates, the authors determine that strong covariation between different areas of the brain in Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis evolved under higher evolutionary rates than in any other primate. Strong covariation is present in juvenile and adult H. sapiens, and in juvenile but not adult great apes.

  • A new model simulation of climate change during the past 2 million years indicates that the appearances and disappearances of hominin species correlate with long-term climatic anomalies.

  • By studying how rates of shape evolution unfold on the brain surface of more than 300 land mammal species, we found that Primates evolved cortical expansion in areas of the brain involved in producing complex cognitive behavior.

  • Five major explosive volcanic pulses in the Main Ethiopian Rift took place in the last four million years with intensity and magnitude declining over time, based on stratigraphic and geochronology data of volcanic units.

  • Evolutionary rates embody the velocity of evolution. Parcellating different velocities across the phenotype is difficult. RRmorph resolves this conundrum by charting evolutionary patterns on 3D shapes, according to their magnitude and direction.

  • The extraordinary biodiversity of Madagascar is seriously threatened by the combined effects of climate change and human economic activities. We found that Madagascar chameleons will face intense species loss in the north-western sector of the island.
