      abstract     = {It has been argued that changes in the relative sizes of
                      visual system structures predated an increase in brain size
                      and provide evidence of brain reorganization in hominins.
                      However, data about the volume and anatomical limits of
                      visual brain structures in the extant taxa phylogenetically
                      closest to humans-the apes-remain scarce, thus complicating
                      tests of hypotheses about evolutionary changes. Here, we
                      analyze new volumetric data for the primary visual cortex
                      and the lateral geniculate nucleus to determine whether or
                      not the human brain departs from allometrically-expected
                      patterns of brain organization. Primary visual cortex
                      volumes were compared to lunate sulcus position in apes to
                      investigate whether or not inferences about brain
                      reorganization made from fossil hominin endocasts are
                      reliable in this context. In contrast to previous studies,
                      in which all species were relatively poorly sampled, the
                      current study attempted to evaluate the degree of
                      intraspecific variability by including numerous hominoid
                      individuals (particularly Pan troglodytes and Homo sapiens).
                      In addition, we present and compare volumetric data from
                      three new hominoid species-Pan paniscus, Pongo pygmaeus, and
                      Symphalangus syndactylus. These new data demonstrate that
                      hominoid visual brain structure volumes vary more than
                      previously appreciated. In addition, humans have relatively
                      reduced primary visual cortex and lateral geniculate nucleus
                      volumes as compared to allometric predictions from other
                      hominoids. These results suggest that inferences about the
                      position of the lunate sulcus on fossil endocasts may
                      provide information about brain organization.},
