About the Book

"Brain Endocasts" is the only comprehensive, single-volume work dealing exclusively and uniformly with fossil hominid brain endocasts. Never-before-published photographs come together with easily accessible, coherent descriptions to create a detailed reference on the paleoneurological evidence for human evolution. Each entry offers essential information related to the location, dating, associations, and morphology of a given endocast. The text also covers the latest methodologies and techniques available for studying endocasts. In addition, a concise summary shows how these fossil records contribute to our understanding of human evolution and behavior.

Review :
"This volume reminds us that, at one and the same time, we know both something and virtually nothing about the evolutionary history of the modern human brain." (American Journal of Archaeology, April 2005) "...the single most up--to--date review of brain endocasts and their importance in hominid evolution." (Journal of Anthropological Research, Fall 2005) "...strongly recommended to anyone interested in human evolutionary studies...as its contents has frequent and even surprising relevance to diverse aspects of this endeavor." (Quarterly Review of Biology, March--May 2005) "...thoroughly readable and a welcome and indispensable addition to my library. The volume represents an expertly written, badly needed catalog..." (American Journal of Human Biology, March/April 2005)
