Human and Neanderthal brains have a surprising youthful quality in common, new research finds
Credits: Many believe our particularly large brain is what makes us human but is there more to it The brains shape, as well as the shapes of its component parts (lobes) may also be important. Results of a study we published today in Nature Ecology Evolution show that the way the different parts of the human brain evolved separates us from our primate relatives. In a sense, our brains never grow up. We share this Peter Pan syndrome with only one other primate the Neanderthals.
