Apparent Stasis of Endocranial Volume in Two Chimpanzee Subspecies
Current data show that within sexes, mean ECV is similar between P. t. verus and P. t. schweinfurthii. This suggests that average brain size in chimpanzees has remained unchanged for ~0.7 million years, in contrast to orangutans (Pongo) and humans.
