Description:
Compared to other mammals, primates have evolved relatively large brains and outstanding cognitive skills. Given that brain tissue is energetically very costly, one major evolutionary question concerns possible selection pressures favouring such large brains. Comparative studies on the cognitive abilities of multiple species are essential for answering this evolutionary puzzle. Systematic studies on the cognitive skills of strepsirrhine primates (lemurs & lorises) were missing until now, although they can serve as living models of the ancestral primate state. In my thesis, I therefore teste...
