Virtual brains reconstructed from ancient, kiwi-sized primate skulls could help resolve one of the most intriguing evolutionary mysteries: how modern primates developed large brains.

More than 392 packages filled with primate skulls and other remains were found over the course of several months at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Scientists have determined that a giant skull from an ancient human relative named the "Dragon Man" is actually Denisovan.

CT scans of fossilized primate skulls or skull fragments from both the Old and New Worlds may shed light on how these extinct animals moved, especially for those species without any known remains.
