abstract = {Social selective pressures are commonly considered as the
main driving force of primate brain evolution. Primate
social behaviour is, however, known to be sexually
dimorphic, and no previous study has made a direct
comparison between male and female brain structures across
species. We quantify sex-specific evolutionary trends in the
prefrontal cortex of anthropoid primates (including humans)
to investigate how sexual selection has shaped brain
evolution in primates. The prefrontal cortex is of
particular importance to the investigation of sexual
dimorphism in primate brain evolution because of its
association to those cognitive capacities central to primate
(and human) evolution: sociality and higher-order cognitive
processing. Our results demonstrate sex-by-hemisphere
differences in the evolution of the prefrontal cortex in
humans and non-human anthropoid primates congruent with the
principal selective pressures considered to underlie
anthropoid behavioural evolution. Our findings further show
how sexual selection can shape brain adaptation in primates
and provide an evolutionary framework for interpreting sex
and sex-by-hemisphere differences in cortical organization
in humans and non-human primates.},
