intelligence is very difficult. Many theories have been posed as selective mechanisms for the trends toward increased intelligence in primate evolution. Some emphasize complex ecological pressures‚ mainly foraging strategies as the primary forces driving an evolutionary increases in cognitive abilities‚ and other suggest that increased social complexity favored the evolution of primate intelligence (Tomasello and Call‚ 1997). Across the animal kingdom‚ brain size increases with increasing body size‚ however
