Abstract: Working memory is central to many cognitive tasks but despite 86 billion neurons, working memory capacity in modern humans is surprisingly small. Why is it so limited and what information is available to understand how it scales with increasing brain
size in the hominin lineage? I will combine insights from computational modeling, neuroscience, comparative cognition, and the archaeological record to contest a lowball estimate of working memory capacity in early hominins and chimpanzees. I will argue that
frontal control over working memory contents rather than absolute capacity is likely to be more important for explaining how early Homo erectus began to construct a cognitive niche different from earlier Australopithecenes.</div>
