It examines the relationship between cognitive performance, natural behaviors, and fitness, while manipulating environmental factors to understand their impact on cognitive traits and inheritance.
I aim to determine how cognitive abilities evolve under natural selection; one of the most important, yet poorly understood issues in modern biology.
Comparative studies inform us how species differ, and hence, one can infer selective pressures.
However, studies of how heritable inter-individual cognitive differences determine fitness in the face of natural selection are absent. I will use methods and paradigms developed in comparative psychology, cognitive science and behavioural ecology, apply…
