Focusing on the evolution of intelligence, this book presents a groundbreaking theory that differentiates the paths taken by humans and animals. It explores how animals use genetic-driven associative mechanisms that limit their learning, while humans benefit from behavioral and mental flexibility, fostered by extended childhoods and cultural experiences. Integrating insights from psychology and evolutionary anthropology, the work utilizes computational analyses and empirical data to illustrate the unique evolutionary pressures shaping human intelligence and the rarity of human-like cognitive abilities in other species.
