The lemur baseline: how lemurs compare to monkeys and apes in the Primate Cognition Test Battery
Primates have relatively larger brains than other mammals even though brain tissue is energetically costly. Comparative studies of variation in cognitive skills allow testing of evolutionary hypotheses addressing socioecological factors driving the evolution of primate brain size. However, data on c...
