In the paper we consider the reduction in brain size associated with the transition from the Paleolithic to Neolithic. Is it indicative of less cognition? Using agent modeling, we show how it could actually be indicative of socially extended cognition.

The paper was published in Frontiers in Neurorobotics under the title: "Shrunken Social Brains? A Minimal Model of the Role of Social Interaction in Neural Complexity".
