R_2_12 — Tool Use in Animals: Corvids, Primates, Dolphins, and Cognitive Evolution

Tool use — the employment of an external object to alter the form, position, or condition of another object or organism — was once considered uniquely human, a defining cognitive threshold separating Homo sapiens from al

R_2_15 — Neoteny and Heterochrony in Human Evolution

Heterochrony — evolutionary change in the timing or rate of developmental processes — is one of the most powerful mechanisms by which evolution generates morphological diversity without requiring new genes. [KEY FINDING]
