The hypotheses presented for discussion touched on fossil evidence, current imaging data on the development of the human brain and anatomical observations of the vocal tract. Professor Steinmetz is Director of the Neurological University Clinic at the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. With his glimpse into our past he supported the theme of the global \u201cBrain Awareness Week\u201d, which started on the day of the talk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>March 15, 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Helmuth Steinmetz, Clinic for Neurology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-public-lectures","entry","no-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.izn-frankfurt.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
