Cognitive Evolution and Species Interaction
This chapter examines cognitive evolution, focusing on how brain structure changes impact problem-solving and social behavior among animal species. It contrasts the traits of selectively bred friendly foxes with aggressive chimpanzees and empathic bonobos, emphasizing the role of friendliness in cognitive development. The discussion culminates in a call for collaborative research to enhance understanding of cognitive traits across species, using a multidisciplinary approach to uncover diverse intelligences.
