Abstract
Evolution of cerebral fissural patterns pursues the same pathway in all primates. As body mass increases, the brain becomes larger, the cerebral fissures more numerous. All primary fissures of a given locus are homologous, and each fissure arises in the same order in all phyletic lines. Implications of cerebral fissural patterns in platyrrhine evolution and systematics are discussed.Keywords
