General intelligence varies among primates within a single species, according to new research. The study is the first to look at general intelligence within one primate species. Through a series of cognitive tests, the researchers were able to divide the monkeys into high, middle and low performing groups. The findings may help us to understand the evolution of human general intelligence.
