flexibility as an evolutionary hypothesis of accommodating mammalian brains
into skulls", by Weisbecker et al., which has been accepted at Evolution (a preprint can be found on https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.06.410928v2). These were the original surface files used for for landmarking and volume partition determination. The endocasts in the folders are identical to the endocasts in the "ply files" folder.
