Here, we provide an unprecedented view of the cerebral morphology of the 20-million-year-old <i>Chilecebus carrascoensis</i>, the best-preserved early diverging platyrrhine known, obtained via high-resolution CT scanning and 3D digital reconstruction. These analyses are crucial for reconstructing ancestral brain conditions in platyrrhines and anthropoids given the early divergi ...[more]
