Article Synopsis
- The Homo genus is characterized by a notable increase in brain size, with modern humans considered the pinnacle of this evolutionary trend.
- Many studies emphasize the growing brain size in the Homo lineage but often overlook the brain sizes of smaller-brained hominins like Homo floresiensis and Homo naledi.
- This review highlights the advantages of employing phylogenetic comparative methods to better understand the complexities of hominin brain evolution and the limitations of ignoring these approaches.
