Abstract

Recent years have seen rapid improvement in neuroscience techniques for studying brain structure and function in humans and our primate relatives. These techniques offer new routes of inquiry into our evolutionary history. This chapter offers an overview of a collection of these methods, including discussion of each technique's strengths, weaknesses, and relevance to neuroarchaeology.
