Read the new Monson, Weitz, Brasil, and Hlusko paper in PNAS this morning.
Demonstrates that prenatal growth rates correlate with endocranial volumes and dental dimensions in extant cercopithecoids, meaning that dental development can be used to estimate hominin prenatal growth rates and neural development. Awesome!
