Evidence for POT expansion in early Homo: A pretty theory with ugly (or no) paleoneurological facts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
If POT (parieto-occipital-temporal junction) reorganization came earlier in australopithecines than in Homo, it is likely that the selective pressures were different, and not necessarily directed toward language. The brain endocast evidence for the POT in A. afarensis is actually better than it is for early Homo.
