Figure 1
3D virtual rendering of the natural endocast of KNM-ER 3732 and identification of sulcal imprints.
KNM-ER 3732 is shown in the lateral right (A), lateral left (B), dorsal (C), and posterior (D) views. ar: ascending ramus of the lateral fissure; c: central sulcus; CO: coronal suture; fi: inferior frontal sulcus; fm: middle frontal sulcus; ip: intra-parietal sulcus; pc: pre-central sulcus; pt: post-central sulcus. Scale bar: 2 cm.
Figure 2
Comparison of the sulcal patterns identified in the inferior frontal area of KNM-ER 3732.
The natural endocast (A) and braincase (B) of KNM-ER 3732 are compared to the virtual endocasts of extant human (C) and chimpanzee (D) individuals. Images not to scale. ar: ascending ramus of the lateral fissure; c: central sulcus; co: coronal suture; fi: inferior frontal sulcus; fm: middle frontal sulcus; ip: intra-parietal sulcus; pc: pre-central sulcus; pt: post-central sulcus. Scale bar: 2 cm.
