TLDR
The evolution of the vertebrate brain along with the function of this fascinating organ must be considered as a particular biological phenomenon many aspects of which have certain implications (Jerison 1973).Abstract:

The “Domestication Syndrome” in Mammals: A Unified Explanation Based on Neural Crest Cell Behavior and Genetics
TL;DR: It is proposed that the domestication syndrome results predominantly from mild neural crest cell deficits during embryonic development, which can be readily explained as direct consequences of such deficiencies, while other traits are explicable as indirect consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental structure in brain evolution.
TL;DR: Comparison of multiple regressions on allometric data for 131 mammalian species, however, suggests that for 9 of 11 brain structures taxonomic and body size factors are less important than covariance of these major structures with each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
The self-domestication hypothesis: evolution of bonobo psychology is due to selection against aggression
TL;DR: The self-domestication hypothesis provides a plausible account of the origin of numerous differences between bonobos and chimpanzees, and note that many of these appear to have arisen as incidental by-products rather than adaptations.
Book
Documenting Domestication: New Genetic and Archaeological Paradigms
TL;DR: This groundbreaking volume for the first time brings together leading archaeologists and biologists working on the domestication of both plants and animals to consider a wide variety of archaeological and genetic approaches to tracing the origin and dispersal of domesticates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Documenting domestication: the intersection of genetics and archaeology
TL;DR: Recent advances in genetics and archaeology in documenting plant and animal domestication are summarized, and several promising areas where the complementary perspectives of both disciplines provide reciprocal illumination are highlighted.

Ontogeny and Phylogeny
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a clock model of Heterochrony, which is a mechanism for separating the three stages of the development of an organism: birth, growth, and death.

Two visual systems.
TL;DR: Visual systems of hamster brain, discussing relative visual localization and discrimination blindness produced by ablation of cortical or tectal areas is discussed.
