This is a fine example of technology effecting evolution. Due to the
computational demands of intuitive trajectory calculation, and the
communication demands of hunting in teams or packs, lager brain cases
were seen as an evolutionary advantage. WHile the analytical abilities
of hunting were amplified in males, the females who had to look after
offspring had to coordinate defenses against predators whil the males
were hunting, so they developed better communication skills.
Want to prove this is so? Try to teach a chimp to throw a 90 mph
fastball on a major league field in the strikezone. It'll never happen.
He doesn't have the hips for the job.
