Life History Theory: Why bigger brains for Primate and How it came to be?

How do primates represent spatial information mentally and use this information for navigation? Researchers have proposed two major mental map representations of space in non-human primates. In a route-based or topological spatial representation map‚ primates have ideal pathways that they make use of repeatedly. Route-based makes also consist of discrete chosen landmarks as reference points to arrive at numerous locations from distinct directions (Urbani‚ 2009). In comparison‚ euclidean (coordinate-based)

This is why primate evolution is considered paleoanthropology (Begun‚ 2012). In researching the evolution of primates to humans a common topic is the curvature of hominoid phalangeal.
