One theory is that humans evolved because of our complex social groups. Humans are particularly complex because of our strong learning capacity (our adaptibility and learning ability may well me our finest adaptation) which make us very different from each other. Because of our individual differences, it is very difficult to tell what we can expect from someone, his abilities, whether he can be trusted or not and whether he will return favors. In short, because of our learning capacity we became very different from each other. In order to make a group of individuals function well there was a demand for even greater brain power.
