What is it about?
Population levels have become relevant to understanding the evolution of early human behavior that has cast doubts on the relevance of the evolution of the brain. This paper show how brain evolution, especially its substructures, continues to be relevant by stressing the cortex's plasticity in the face of changing environmental and demographic circumstances.

Why is it important?
The findings demonstrate the continuing importance of the relationship between brain structure and population levels in understanding the dynamics of human behavior.
Perspectives
I hope that this publication will help assimilate two relatively separate research approaches to understanding the way human behavior developed from the time when Homo sapiens first appeared.
