Cranial Capacity in Neanderthals and Modern Humans
Description
This dataset, neanderthal_brains_df, is a data frame containing measurements of
brain size (lnbrain) and body mass (lnmass) from 39 specimens of Neanderthals
and early modern humans, identified by species.
Usage
data(neanderthal_brains_df)
Format
A data frame with 39 observations and 3 variables:
- ln.mass
Numeric vector representing natural logarithm of body mass
- ln.brain
Numeric vector representing natural logarithm of brain size
- species
Factor indicating species with 2 levels (Neanderthals and early modern humans)
Details
The dataset name has been kept as 'neanderthal_brains_df' to avoid confusion with other datasets
in the R ecosystem. This naming convention helps distinguish this dataset as part of the
NeuroDataSets package and assists users in identifying its specific characteristics.
The suffix 'df' indicates that the dataset is a data frame. The original content has not been modified
in any way.
