Evolution of primate cognition
Comparative analysis of the behavior of modern primates, in conjunction with an accurate phylogenetic tree of relatedness, has the power to chart the early history of human cognitive evolution. Adaptive cognitive changes along this path occurred, it is believed, in response to various forms of complexity; to some extent, theories that relate particular challenges to cognitive adaptations can al...
متن کاملSociality, Evolution and Cognition
Variations in brain size and proportions can be linked to the cognitive capacities of different animal species, and correlations with ecology may give clues to the evolutionary origins of these specializations. Much recent evidence has implicated the social domain as a major challenge driving increases in problem-solving abilities of mammals. However, the methods of measurement available to res...

متن کاملThe cultural evolution of cognition
As humans, we share most of our biological make-up with our closest primate relatives, yet we stand out not just from them but from all other species with respect to our cultural diversity, our capacity for language, and particularly our cognitive skills. While of prime interest for the field of cognitive science, the still-open question of which factors gave rise to human uniqueness has rarely...
متن کاملHow cognition shapes cognitive evolution
The tools we use shape the way we construct our world. When cognitive scientists began to model the evolution of cognition, one tool they found readily available was the genetic algorithm--a software system for artificially evolving solutions to problems that were specified by an explicit fitness function [1]. This fixed fitness function took a potential solution as input, and returned the good...
