摘要: The fossil record of brain evolution is poorly represented for monkeys. There only one known ceboid endocast and the described endocasts cercopithecoid monkeys can be counted on hand (Radinsky, 1974). Thus, any effort to assess evolutionary histories Old New World monkeys, based neurological data, must rely heavily comparisons brains or from extant species.
