"the proportionately largest executive brains are the ones that most often innovate, learn from others, and use tools"

Free thinking innovators who study the issues and work hard. Guess that proves that the brightest primates are Republicans.

We can thank a common capacity for solving a broad range of problems

It's really very simple. It is understood that when a person throws a rock, approximately the entire brain is involved. The larger brain was developed to calculate trajectories and coordinate muscle and eye movement so rocks could be thrown with extreme accuracy to bonk rabbits. Standing on the hind legs also developed at the same time, also to facilitate rock-throwing leverage. Add the opposable thumb, which facilitates the split-finger fast-rock, and you have the story.
