I for one have missed it.

Abstract
Comparative analyses of primate brain evolution have
highlighted changes in size and internal organization
as key factors underlying species diversity. It remains,
however, unclear (i) how much variation in mosaic brain
reorganization versus variation in relative brain size
contributes to explaining the structural neural diversity
observed across species,(ii) which mosaic changes
contribute most to explaining diversity, and (iii) what
the temporal origin, rates and processes are that underlie
evolutionary shifts in mosaic reorganization for individual
branches of the primate tree of life. We address these
questions by combining novel comparative methods that allow
assessing the temporal origin, rate and process of
evolutionary changes on individual branches of the tree of
life, with newly available data on volumes of key brain
structures (prefrontal cortex, frontal motor areas and
cerebrocerebellum) for a sample of 17 species (including
humans). We identify patterns of mosaic change in brain
evolution that mirror brain systems previously identified
by electrophysiological and anatomical tract-tracing
studies in non-human primates and functional connectivity
MRI studies in humans. Across more than 40 Myr of anthropoid
primate evolution, mosaic changes contribute more to
explaining neural diversity than changes in relative brain
size, and different mosaic patterns are differentially
selected for when brains increase or decrease in size. We
identify lineage-specific evolutionary specializations for
all branches of the tree of life covered by our sample
and demonstrate deep evolutionary roots for mosaic patterns
associated with motor control and learning.
Have you read it?
So what do you think it means?
WHY do you think that?
Personally I didn't even find it interesting.
Of course you don't. Too many big words
Just talking about primate brains across a span of 40 million
years is more than a bit ridiculous. Sure, there is such a thing
as an endocast but they're not exactly "High Resolution."
Certainly not in fossils.
And regardless of how important organization is relative to
size, size is what matters here when talking about the
evolution of Homo. Period. Even your gods pooping in the
Rising Star Cave felt it necessary to "Find" an anomalous
skull, by itself, over in a different cavern, so that they could
claim Naledi's range fell somewhere within the Homo line,
and not entirely outside of it... in size.
