Correction to 'Fossil skulls reveal that blood flow rate to the brain increased faster than brain volume during human evolution'

Abstract

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1098/rsos.160305.].

Figure 1.

Cerebral blood flow rate (${\dot{Q}}_{\mathrm{ICA}}$) in relation to endocranial volume (V_br) for 11 species of hominins. The curve represents the allometric equation given in the text.

Figure 2.

Brain-volume-specific blood flow rate (${\dot{Q}}_{\mathrm{ICA}}/V_{\mathrm{br}}$) in relation to endocranial volume (V_br) for 11 species of hominins. The curve represents the allometric equation given in the text.

Figure 3.

Cerebral blood flow rate (${\dot{Q}}_{\mathrm{ICA}}$) in relation to estimated geological age (A) in nine hominin species, where ${\dot{Q}}_{\mathrm{ICA}}=0.576A^2-3.436A+6.61\hspace{0.17em}(R^2=0.82)$. Homo floresiensis and H. naledi are excluded from the regression.
