Thursday Sept 19 at @IpshitaZ 's invite, I gave a talk at Gyuri Buzsaki's Lab at NYU "Cinema as proto-affordance language — spatial syntax" and Ang Lee joined me. It was a wonderful step bridging the arts and sciences.

Tail Loss and Brain Expansion in Hominoid Evolution: An Evolutionary Developmental Perspective

Hominoid evolution involved distinct morphological transformations on different timescales: early tail loss and later pronounced brain expansion in hominins. Integrating fossil morphology, embryonic...

Evan's work is awesome. Check out all of his interviews. Nothing crude about it. Ignore that comment by @MillerLabMIT. He's just a nattering nabob of negativism.
