Group of Hominids Paleoneurology
Paleoneurology deals with the study of the endocranial anatomy and morphology of the extinct taxa, by means of the the functional relationship between the brain and the neurocranial bones. Single traits and characters as well as the general phenotype and the spatial organisation of the endocranial structures are investigated using shape analysis, geometrical models, and multivariate statistics, in both modern humans and fossil hominids.
