This interdisciplinary project aims to create mathematical models to study brain evolution under social pressures. It seeks to quantify the relationship between brain size and cognitive abilities, focusing on the interplay of ecological and social factors.
Growing and maintaining a large brain entails substantial energetic costs. A large brain can evolve if costs are compensated by benefits from associated cognitive abilities.
Leading hypotheses for brain evolution consider benefits arising from the solution of ecological and social problems.
However, progress has been hindered by the unavailability of mathematical theory generating testable hypotheses from known causes.I will develop testable mathematical models that yield quantitative prediction…
