brain evolution and intelligence
Brain evolution refers to the gradual changes and development of the brain and its structures over time through the process of natural selection and genetic adaptations. Intelligence, on the other hand, relates to the mental abilities and cognitive skills of an organism, including reasoning, problem-solving, learning, and adaptability. The relationship between brain evolution and intelligence centres around how the changes in the brain have influenced the capacity for intelligent behavior and the ability to process information efficiently.
