Barton, R. A., & Capellini, I. Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals
Brain size variation in mammals correlates with life histories: larger-brained species have longer gestations, mature later, and have increased lifespans. These patterns have been explained in terms of developmental costs (larger brains take longer t... Read More about Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals.
