This study of insectivora brains enables an insight into the size and composition of the brain structure of earlier ancestors of the higher mammals, including primates and humans. Additionally, it aims to illuminate the evolutionary trends which made the successful adaptation to different biotopes possible. The text addresses not only the interests of the neuroanatomists or neurobiologists, but also those of scientists interested in ecology, ethology, and evolution.
