I have a PhD from Oxford University (Zoology/Evolutionary Biology) and two post-docs, one at Oxford (where I integrated experimental economics with evolutionary biology), and another (Brazil) on the evolution of advanced cognition and the conditions for its emergence. I also have an MSc in Ecology and a BSc in Life Sciences. I am the co-founder and scientific director of Origem Scientifica (2005-2017), a consulting company in the field of global health and data analysis in the life sciences, with projects developed for several institutions, including the National Institutes of Health (USA), the WHO, among others (http://www.origemscientifica.com). I also have a solid background in scientific capacity building, with hundreds of hours of data analysis and scientific method classes taught to researchers in the health and life sciences at many universities and institutes in Brazil and abroad.

What would be, however, the selective pressures and constraints acting upon the development of relatively bigger and more complex brains in some groups? Studies comparing the ecology, life-history and phylogeny of…
