Tiny Jurassic predator may hold clues to human brain evolution
Original: This tiny jurassic predator helped pave the way for the human brain
Scientists report that a small Jurassic-era predator played a role in the evolutionary path that eventually led to the development of the human brain. The finding sheds light on early neural evolution in ancient vertebrates, suggesting that features present in these tiny creatures helped lay the groundwork for complex brains in later species, including humans.
Why now: New research linking an ancient predator to human brain evolution has drawn scientific and public interest.
