  We consider the population evolution and evaporation of primordial black
holes in the simplest braneworld cosmology, Randall-Sundrum type II. We
demonstrate that black holes forming during the high-energy phase of this
theory (where the expansion rate is proportional to the density) have a
modified evaporation law, resulting in a longer lifetime and lower temperature
at evaporation, while those forming in the standard regime behave essentially
as in the standard cosmology. For sufficiently large values of the AdS radius,
the high-energy regime can be the one relevant for primordial black holes
evaporating at key epochs such as nucleosynthesis and the present. We examine
the formation epochs of such black holes, and delimit the parameter regimes
where the standard scenario is significantly modified.
