Ralph Holloway
Ralph Leslie Holloway, Jr. (born 1935) is a
biology of gender, sexual dimorphism in the corpus callosum
, and other topics.
Holloway's work on the Taung Child was one of the first to suggest brain reorganization occurring before the increase of brain size in hominids. His claim that the lunate sulcus, a sulcus which marks the boundary of the occipital lobe, was in a posterior position to that of apes suggests that the reduction of the occipital lobe was accompanied by enlargements of parts of the brain associated with higher cognitive function.[1]
