Such socialization would have put stresses on them, requiring them to be more assertive, courageous and competitive than if they had lived by themselves-which in turn could have fostered brain growth. Indeed, says Kay, Aegyptopithecus' cranial capacity of about 30 cc (1.8 cu. in.) was larger, relative to its body size, than that of any of its mammalian contemporaries...
