In the lecture it will be discussed how social structures shape congitive abilities in animals such as primates, dolphins and corvids. It will examine how these species use social information within their environment and how their decisions impact social dynamics. For understanding social and cognitive evolution, two things need to be considered: how societies shape minds and how minds give rise to societies.
