Zusammenfassung
Cognition is selected for via skills that provide individuals with fitness benefits. However, species with the highest cognitive capacities, such as primates, are born strikingly incompetent and acquire their skill sets only gradually during development. Therefore, understanding when and how wild primates acquire their everyday skills is important for comprehending cognitive evolution. Here, we show that most primate species reach adult-level competence in foraging skills just around weaning. Social learning is the dominant form of primate learning in nature with observational and interactive social learning being most prevalent where skills are most complex. These findings suggest that life history and levels of skill complexity are tightly linked. Furthermore, for complex skills to evolve, species need to be able to resort to efficient forms of learning, that is, high-fidelity social learning.
