	abstract = {<p>Encephalization is one of the defining features of the primate Order, but patterns of brain/body scaling in different primate radiations are caused by different developmental mechanisms. All primates share a novel pattern of fetal encephalization that is linked to exceptionally slow rates of postcranial body growth during every stage of ontogeny. By contrast, additional grade shifts in relative brain size within anthropoid radiations and humans are caused by brain size increases, including both neocortical expansion and coordinated increases in all brain structures according to allometric principles.</p>
