• Evolutionary Origins of the Endowment Effect: Evidence from Hunter-Gatherers (2014, background): “In fact, the average endocranial volume of Homo in the early Pleistocene Epoch around 1.8 mya was 750ml, and by 30,000 years ago when hunting and gathering dominated, it was nearly double that size (Lee and Wolpoff 2003) and has not increased since (Ruff 1997).”
• Ecological dominance, social competition, and coalitionary arms races: Why humans evolved extraordinary intelligence. (2005, background): “Regardless , throughout the Pleistocene , brain size increased steadily over time until 50 kya ( Lee & Wolpoff , 2003 ; see Fig .”
• Evolution of the Size and Functional Areas of the Human Brain (2006, background): “Recent empirical analyses of cranial capacity changes over time support this notion (De Miguel & Henneberg 2001, Lee & Wolpoff 2003).”
