one more thing to pay attention to, concerning early primates...

earliest primates = prosimians (pre-monkeys)

improved grasping hand improved opposability more elaborate brains smelling becomes secondary color vision larger eyes eyes moved forward |

53
All of this required increased coordination of senses
54
monkeys use food more efficiently than apes
55
| need for apes to encounter wider and more varied environments
56

multiplicity of alternatives
61
| need for deliberation
62
multiplicity of alternatives | need for deliberation | requires more time
63
multiplicity of alternatives | need for deliberation | requires more time | causes delay

therefore life becomes less automatic and one depends to a greater extent on learning...
66
CULTURE (learned behavior)
