evolutionary trade-offs in intelligence
Evolutionary trade-offs in intelligence refer to the inherent limitations or compromises that arise as a result of natural selection favoring specific cognitive abilities in organisms. These trade-offs occur when increased intelligence in one aspect comes at the expense of others, requiring organisms to allocate their limited resources accordingly and make compromises in their overall cognitive abilities.
