                      requires directly comparative anatomical information from
                      other primates, especially our closest relatives. Human
                      (Homo sapiens) (m/f), chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) (f), and
                      rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) (m/f) white matter atlases
                      were used to create connectivity blueprints, i.e.,
                      descriptions of the cortical grey matter in terms of the
                      connectivity with homologous white matter tracts. This
                      allowed a quantitative comparative of cortical organization
                      across the species. We identified human-unique connectivity
                      profiles concentrated in temporal and parietal cortices, and
                      hominid-unique organization in prefrontal cortex. Functional
                      decoding revealed human-unique hotspots correlated with
                      language processing and social cognition. Overall, our
                      results counter models that assign primacy to prefrontal
                      cortex for human uniqueness.Significance statement
                      Understanding what makes the human brain unique requires
                      direct comparisons with other primates, particularly our
                      closest relatives. Using connectivity blueprints, we
                      compared to cortical organization of the human to that of
                      the macaque and, for the first time, the chimpanzee. This
                      approach revealed human-specific connectivity patterns in
                      the temporal and parietal lobes, regions linked to language
                      and social cognition. These findings challenge traditional
                      views that prioritize the prefrontal cortex in defining
                      human cognitive uniqueness, emphasizing instead the
                      importance of temporal and parietal cortical evolution in
                      shaping our species' abilities.},
