In the citing paper
“Language evolved to address a need for social communication and evolution may have forged a link between language and the social brain in humans (Adolphs, 2003; Dunbar, 1998; Kuhl, 2007; Pulvermuller, 2005).”
From Brain mechanisms in early language acquisition (2010) · cites this paper as Dunbar, 1998
In the citing paper
“In primates, greater cognitive challenges associated with forming bonded social groups in large societies, among other influences (DeCasien et al., 2017;González-Forero and Gardner, 2018;DeCasien and Higham, 2019), appear to have selected for increased brain size (Dunbar, 1998;Dunbar andShultz, 2007, 2017;Meguerditchian et al., 2021).”
From When and Why Did Human Brains Decrease in Size? A New Change-Point Analysis and Insights From Brain Evolution in Ants (2021) · cites this paper as Dunbar, 1998
In the citing paper
“In contrast, the social brain hypothesis (SBH), originating from the Machiavellian intelligence hypothesis, proposes that the increase in brain size has been driven by the cognitive demands of primate's complex social life (Byrne & Whiten, 1988;Dunbar, 1998;Humphrey, 1976; see Whiten, 2018 for an historical account).”
From Baboons (Papio anubis) living in larger social groups have bigger brains. (2021) · cites this paper as Dunbar, 1998
In the citing paper
“One implication is that the ratio measures of relative brain structure size used commonly in comparative studies, such as neocortex ratio [8], ‘executive’ brain ratio [7,10,11] and ‘cerebrotype’ [50] conflate allometric scaling with selection on specific brain regions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
