Spotted hyenas combine expanded frontal brain regions with monkey-like skills for tracking rank, kin, alliances and numerical odds, a striking but carefully bounded case of convergent evolution. The post Spotted hyenas evolved unusually large frontal brain regions and social skills that rival those of monkeys — even though their lineages split tens of millions of years ago. Researchers see it as convergent evolution: intelligence finding a similar solution twice. appeared first on Space Daily .
