Two questions regarding the human mind challenge evolutionary theory: (a) What features of human psychology have changed since humans' lineage split from that of the other apes such as chimpanzees and bonobos? And (b) what was the process by which such derived psychological features evolved (e.g., what were the selection pressures)? I review some of the latest research on chimpanzee and canine psychology that allows inferences to be made regarding these questions.

Comparative social cognition.
TLDR
It is concluded that animals are excellent ethologists, but on the whole, poor psychologists, and those studies that present a good case for mental attribution all possess high ecological validity, including studies on food competition by chimpanzees and cache-protection strategies by corvids.
Social and Physical Cognition in Old World Monkeys - A Comparative Perspective
TLDR
Data regarding the relationship between brain size and social complexity support the hypothesis that this increase is due to the demands of life in a complex social group, and whether this pressure only affects primates or not.
From Hominoid to Hominid Mind: What Changed and Why?*
TLDR
Comparisons among human infants, bonobos, chimpanzees, and orangutans on both social and physical problem-solving tasks demonstrate that human infants are unique for their early emerging social cognitive skills, which facilitate participation in cultural interactions.
Do chimpanzees know what others can and cannot do? Reasoning about ‘capability’
TLDR
Seven chimpanzees’ ability to predict which of two human experimenters could deliver a tray containing a food reward was tested, indicating that chimpanzees do not spontaneously (or after considerable training) use limb visibility as a cue to predict the ability of a human to perform particular physical tasks.
The Ensemble Hypothesis of Human Cognitive Evolution
TLDR
The ensemble hypothesis examined here suggests that language is but one of five human capacities that produce a qualitatively unique form of cognition because of their interactions with each other.
The Impact of Environment on the Comprehension of Declarative Communication in Apes
TLDR
It is demonstrated that environmental factors, particularly access to a sociolinguistically rich environment, directly influence great apes’ ability to comprehend declarative signals and suggest that, contrary to recent claims, apes have the biological capacity to utilize purely informative communication.
Survival of the Friendliest: Homo sapiens Evolved via Selection for Prosociality

TLDR
In reviewing comparative, developmental, neurobiological, and paleoanthropological research, compelling evidence emerges for the predicted relationship between unique human mentalizing abilities, tolerance, and the domestication syndrome in humans.
A comparison of temperament in nonhuman apes and human infants.
TLDR
This study compared the reaction of bonobos, chimpanzees, orangutans, and 2.5-year-old human infants to novel objects and people - as a measure of their shyness-boldness, a key temperamental trait.
Survival of the Friendliest : Homo sapiens Evolved via Selection for Prosociality
The challenge of studying human cognitive evolution is identifying unique features of our intelligence while explaining the processes by which they arose. Comparisons with nonhuman apes point to our…
The evolutionary origins of natural pedagogy: rhesus monkeys show sustained attention following nonsocial cues versus social communicative signals.
TLDR
Unlike human infants in analogous situations, rhesus monkeys looked longer at events following nonsocial cues, regardless of the demonstrator's subsequent looking behavior, and younger and older monkeys showed similar patterns of responses across development.

TLDR
It is found that wolves who were raised by humans do not show these same skills, whereas domestic dog puppies only a few weeks old, even those that have had little human contact, do show these skills.

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) conceal visual and auditory information from others.
TLDR
The results suggest that chimpanzees can, in some circumstances, actively manipulate the visual and auditory perception of others by concealing information from them.
