Zusammenfassung

Wie bereits bei der Beschreibung der Variabilitäts-Selektions-Hypothese erörtert sind es die immer wiederkehrenden Herausforderungen durch Schwankungen der Umweltbedingungen im Habitat, die zur natürlichen Selektion einer Spezies beitragen, die an diese Veränderungen über längere Zeiträume am besten adaptiert ist. Im Fall der kognitiven Entwicklung sind es Ereignisse, die zu einer starken Beanspruchung mentaler Prozesse führen und zu einer entsprechenden Reaktion des Individuums beitragen. Auch hier ist eine schrittweise natürliche Selektion denkbar.
