TL;DR: It is suggested that increases in absolute brain size provided the biological foundation for evolutionary increases in self-control, and implicate species differences in feeding ecology as a potential selective pressure favoring these skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive adaptations of social bonding in birds
TL;DR: It is argued that cognition may play an important role in the maintenance of long-term relationships, something the authors name as ‘relationship intelligence’.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Here, it is explained how an integration of comparative psychology and evolutionary biology will answer a host of questions regarding the phylogenetic distribution and history of cognitive traits, as well as the evolutionary processes that drove their evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal Tool-Use
Amanda M. Seed,Richard W. Byrne +1 more
TL;DR: The sight of an animal making and using a tool captivates scientists and laymen alike, perhaps because it forces us to question some of our ideas about human uniqueness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating Physical Cognition in Rooks, Corvus frugilegus
TL;DR: The performance of non-tool-using rooks in a new paradigm, the two-trap tube task, is reported, providing suggestive evidence that rooks are capable of sophisticated physical cognition, if not through an understanding of unobservable forces, perhaps through rule abstraction.
