  2. Encephalization quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalization_quotient

    Encephalization quotient (EQ), encephalization level (EL), or just encephalization is a relative brain size measure that is defined as the ratio between observed and predicted brain mass for an animal of a given size, based on nonlinear regression on a range of reference species.

  3. Dmanisi hominins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmanisi_hominins

    The skulls were significant not only in their set of unique features. Skull 5 was the first found completely preserved adult hominin skull from the Early Pleistocene, [4] and Skull 4 is the only toothless hominin discovered in such early sediments. [16] In addition to the skulls, about a hundred postcranial remains have been discovered. [4]

    KNM-ER 406, the skull of a Paranthropus, brain volume estimated to 410 cm 3 with a visible sagittal crest and mild or intermediate post-orbital constriction but KNM-ER 37333, the skull of a Homo erectus, brain volume of 850 cm 3 with no visual sagittal crest and an almost not present or reduced post-orbital constriction.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmanisi_skull_5

    The Dmanisi skull, also known as Skull 5 or D4500, is one of five skulls discovered in Dmanisi, Georgia and classified as early Homo erectus.Described in a publication in October 2013, it is estimated to be about 1.8 million years old and is the most complete skull of a Pleistocene Homo species, [1] [2] and the first complete adult hominin skull of that degree of antiquity.

    A human skull and measurement device from 1902. Craniometry is measurement of the cranium (the main part of the skull), usually the human cranium.It is a subset of cephalometry, measurement of the head, which in humans is a subset of anthropometry, measurement of the human body.

    The Harbin skull measures 221.3 mm × 164.1 mm (8.7 in × 6.5 in) in maximum length x breadth, with a naso-occipital length of 212.9 mm (8.4 in), making it the longest archaic human skull to date. [1] For comparison, the dimensions of a modern human skull average 176 mm × 145 mm (6.9 in × 5.7 in) for men and 171 mm × 140 mm (6.7 in × 5.5 in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_size

    The size of the brain is a frequent topic of study within the fields of anatomy, biological anthropology, animal science and evolution.Measuring brain size and cranial capacity is relevant both to humans and other animals, and can be done by weight or volume via MRI scans, by skull volume, or by neuroimaging intelligence testing.

  9. Skhul and Qafzeh hominins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skhul_and_Qafzeh_hominins

    The Skhul and Qafzeh hominins or Qafzeh–Skhul early modern humans [1] are hominin fossils discovered in Es-Skhul and Qafzeh caves in Israel. They are today classified as Homo sapiens, among the earliest of their species in Eurasia. Skhul Cave is on the slopes of Mount Carmel; Qafzeh Cave is a rockshelter near Nazareth in Lower Galilee.
