About Julien Benoit

Julien Benoit, With an exceptional h-index of 19 and a recent h-index of 16 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of the Witwatersrand, specializes in the field of paleontology, biology, evolution, paleoneurology, phylogeny.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Indigenous knowledge of palaeontology in Africa

Did gorgonopsians survive the end-Permian “Great Dying”? A re-appraisal of three gorgonopsian specimens (Therapsida, Theriodontia) reported from the Triassic Lystrosaurus …

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

Redescription of three basal anomodonts: a phylogenetic reassessment of the holotype of Eodicynodon oelofseni (NMQR 2913)

The earliest report of bone-bearing breccia from a Monte Christo Formation cave (South Africa)

First CT‐assisted study of the palate and postcrania of Diarthrognathus broomi (Cynodontia, Probainognathia)

Synchrotron scanning reveals the deep evolutionary root of the mammalian brain: The surprisingly advanced endocast morphology of Lumkuia fuzzi (Cynodontia: Probainognathia)

From fossils to mind
