Traditionally the comparative study of brains of apes and humans                has been of interest to anthropologists, but not to                             neuroanatomist who are more concerned with the human brain per                  se.  But, very few anthropologists have the background and                      expertise to deal in detail with problems of the comparative                    morphology of human and non-human primate brains.  Dr. Armstrong                is one of these few.                                                                                                                                            This research involves detailed measurements of the gyration and                degree of maturation in diencephalic nuclei of the brain of                     humans, apes, and monkeys.  Despite this neuroanatomical detail,                the study does have broad relevance for Anthropology.                           Anthropologists and the general public alike have wondered for a                long time whether differences between human, monkey and ape                     brains are related to differences in intelligence.  An                          understanding of developmental differences between human and                    nonhuman brains has a direct bearing on this question.  This                    research attempts to answer the specific question, Can merely a                 shift in the rate of neural development account for differences                 in size of (parts of) adult human and monkey brains?  It makes                  use of the extensive collection of well-preserved brains in the                 Yakovlev Collection of Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.
