Preface
We know that intelligence is important in our everyday lives, but we do not know very well what it is, as shown by the fact that hot debate rages in the field of
intelligence—today as at the turn of the last century—regarding the nature of intelligence. Although psychologists of diverse backgrounds have tried to answer the
question of what intelligence is, too often they have fallen back on conventional psychometric intelligence tests that, for the most part, were constructed in the absence
of an empirically demonstrated theory of intelligence—as the criterion against which to assess their theories.

Some psychologists have sought approaches other than intelligence testing to understand the nature of intelligence. For example, some psychologists have studied
response times, error rates, or biological correlates derived from performance on cognitive tasks as bases for understanding the nature of human intelligence. But they
have then turned around and validated their measures by correlating estimated parameters with conventional psychometric measures of intelligence. The result is that,
even with some of these new approaches, the psychometric tests still rule as the ultimate arbiters of what is intelligence and what is not.

An alternative approach is to seek criteria other than psychometric­test performance as the standard for deciding what intelligence is. One such criterion is a distinct
evolutionary history. This criterion has been suggested by a number of individuals over the past, from Charles Darwin in the more distant past to Howard Gardner,
Stephen Gould, Steven Pinker, Carl Sagan, David Stenhouse, and many others in the more recent past. Perhaps we can understand what intelligence is by elucidating
how and why it has evolved. Or perhaps not: The coformulator of the theory of evolution, Alfred Russell Wallace, believed that evolution could account only for life­
sustaining traits, not for higher order skills that went beyond such traits. So we find ourselves with three major questions in this book:
Page x

1. Does evolutionary theory help us understand the nature of human intelligence?


2. If so, what does it tell us about the nature of human intelligence?
3. And if so, how has intelligence evolved?

These three questions are addressed in many of the chapters in the book, and form the basis for the final integrative chapter.

The goal of this book is to present diverse points of view on the evolution of intelligence as offered by leading experts in the field. In particular, it may be possible better
to understand the nature and societal implications of intelligence by understanding how and why it has evolved as it has. This book is unique, to our knowledge, in its
offering of a diversity of points of view on the topic of the evolution of human intelligence.

The book perhaps can be brought into the current surge of interest in evolutionary psychology, a field that has been pioneered by David Buss, Richard Byrne, Leda
Cosmides, Gerd Gigerenzer, John Tooby, and more recently, by Steven Pinker, among others. Evolutionary models are now being used widely, to account for
phenomena as diverse as morality and ethical behavior, interpersonal attraction, creativity, reasoning, perception, and intelligence. The focus of the current book is
exclusively on human intelligence and its evolution.

A book such as this one does not develop in isolation. We are grateful to the U.S. Office of Educational Research and Improvement (Grant R206R000001), which has
supported some of our research in the area of intelligence. Of course, the findings and opinions expressed in the book do not reflect the positions or policies of this
agency. We also are grateful to Sai Durvasula for help in preparing the manuscript and to Judi Amsel for contracting the book. Finally, we thank the authors who have
contributed to the book for their help in putting together what we hope will be an influential collection of viewpoints regarding the interface between evolution and
human intelligence.

The Search for Criteria:


Why Study the Evolution
of Intelligence?
Robert J. Sternberg
Yale University

Perhaps the most difficult challenge in the study of intelligence is figuring out the criteria for labeling a thought process or a behavior ‘‘intelligent.” How does one decide?

A number of different approaches have been tried to figure out what criteria one can use to decide what constitutes “intelligence.” The thesis of this chapter is that
evolutionary arguments constitute one of three such criteria that can be readily incorporated, given a conventional definition of intelligence in terms of adaptation to the
environment.

DEFINITIONS OF INTELLIGENCE

Conceptual Definitions

Conceptual definitions are opinions of experts or laypersons about what constitutes intelligence, or intelligent thought and behavior. Two major symposia have directly
addressed this issue.

One symposium (“Intelligence and its Measurement,” 1921) involved 14 experts giving their views on the nature of intelligence. This symposium produced
Page 2

definitions such as “having learned or ability to learn to adjust oneself to the environment” (Colvin, 1921), “ability to adapt oneself adequately to relatively new situations
in life” (Pintner, 1921), and “the capacity to inhibit an instinctive adjustment” (Thurstone, 1921). Note that a major theme in these definitions was the role of adaptation
to the environment.

The second symposium (Sternberg & Detterman, 1986) involved opinions of 24 experts in the field of intelligence and produced answers that overlapped with those in
the earlier symposium. There was perhaps greater emphasis in these later definitions on metacognition. But the main theme once again was adaptation to the
environment.

Definitions also may be extracted from experts or from laypersons by studying these individuals’ implicit theories of intelligence. This route was followed in two separate
investigations (Sternberg, 1985; Sternberg, Conway, Ketron, & Bernstein, 1981) and produced a variety of responses, depending in part on whether the individuals
were professionals or laypersons, and, if professionals, on their field of study. For example, laypersons suggested practical problem­solving ability, verbal ability, and
social­competence abilities, whereas experts placed more emphasis on academic skills. However, the skills they emphasized depended on the skills they needed to
succeed in their own fields. Implicit­theory studies also have been done cross­culturally, with extremely diverse results (see review in Sternberg & Kaufman, 1998).

Operational Definition

Definitions can also be sought that skirt the issue altogether. For example, Boring (1923) achieved what little fame he has in the field of intelligence for his famous
remark that intelligence can and should be defined operationally as that which the intelligence tests test. The circularity of this definition—the tests are designed to
measure intelligence, which then is defined in terms of whatever they measure—has made the definition unappealing to many theorists in the field.

THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE

A second approach is to propose a theory of intelligence, from which some kind of definition is supposed to follow somehow. These theories can be classified in a
number of different ways. One scheme is in terms of the metaphor of mind they presuppose. These metaphors characterize the grounds through which intelligence needs
to be understood.

Sternberg (1990) suggested that many theories can be viewed as falling under one of seven metaphors. What are these seven metaphors?
Page 3

First, the geographic metaphor is based on the notion that a theory of intelligence should provide a map of the mind (see Brody, 2000; Carroll, 1993; Horn, 1994;
Spearman, 1927; Thurstone, 1938;). Intelligence then comes to be defined in terms of underlying factors of the mind, which Vernon (1971) likened to lines of longitude
and latitude for understanding how the mind works.

Second, the computational metaphor envisions the mind as a computing device and analogizes the processes of the mind to the operations (software) of a computer
(see Deary, 2000; Hunt, 1980; Lohman, 2000; Sternberg, 1983). The operations of the mind are then characterized in terms of processes, strategies, and mental
representations used in processing information.

Third, the biological metaphor (which includes evolutionary notions) seeks to understand intelligence in terms of the workings of the brain (Ertl & Schafer, 1969; Haier
et al., 1988; Haier, Siegel, Tang, Abel, & Buchsbaum, 1992; see Jerison, 2000; Vernon, Wickett, Bazana, & Stelmack, 2000). Biological theorists often attempt to
map cognitive activity onto various portions of the brain, or to show that certain kinds of responses emitted by the brain (e.g., evoked potentials) relate to
psychometrically measured intellectual performance. Or they may try to understand the evolutionary origins of intelligence.

Fourth, the epistemological metaphor, due primarily to Jean Piaget (e.g., Piaget, 1972), seeks to understand intelligence as an equilibration between assimilation and
accommodation. Individuals assimilate new objects into existing mental schemas, or change existing schemas to accommodate objects that do not well fit into old
schemas.

Fifth, the anthropological metaphor views intelligence as a cultural invention (e.g., Berry, 1974; Greenfield, 1997). On this view, the mental processes underlying
intelligence may or may not change as a function of culture, but the behaviors considered to be intelligent certainly do. What is considered intelligent behavior in one
culture may be considered to be unintelligent in another (Serpell, 2000).

Sixth, the sociological metaphor considers how socialization affects intellectual development (e.g., Feuerstein, 1980; Vygotsky, 1978). One might examine, for
example, how children internalize experiences they first encounter in an interpersonal context (see Chen & Siegler, 2000).

Seventh, the systems metaphor tries to understand the various aspects of intelligence and how they work together as a system (e.g., Gardner, 1983, 1999; Sternberg,
1985, 1997, 1999). According to this metaphor, the various approaches to intelligence need to be systemically integrated.

The different metaphors vary in a tremendous number of respects. But interestingly, they have one thing in common with the diverse definitions. It typically is assumed
that the core concept underlying intelligence is adaptation to the environment, broadly conceived.
Page 4

THREE ADAPTATIONIST CRITERIA

If intelligence is to be understood as adapation to the environment, broadly conceived, then how might we go about discovering the mental processes and behaviors
that can be labeled as intelligent? Three criteria suggest themselves. These criteria differ from largely arbitrary listings of criteria (e.g., Gardner, 1983) in that they all
derive from the virtually universally accepted notion of intelligence as adaptation to the environment.

Criterion 1: Correlations with Success

Success is often defined in terms of cultural adaptation. When it is so defined, it makes sense to correlate performance on measures of intelligence with multiple
measures of success; however, they may be culturally defined. These measures will differ from one culture to another. But the variation in what constitutes success is not
limited to cultural adaptation. Adaptive success also varies with biological niche. Success for a bird is certainly different from success for a human. And even humans
need different skills to succeed in different environments, such as in cold mountainous regions versus hot tropical rain forests.

Criterion 2: Mental Skill Development

All organisms are designed to become increasingly independent and better able to adapt to the environment with increasing age, up to a certain point. Then, in the later
portion of their lives, their adaptive skills may decrease with age. Binet and Simon (1905/1916) were among the first to recognize that a scale for measuring intelligence
could be constructed on the basis of items on which performance differed as a function of age. The whole notion of mental age, although no longer in general use,
derived from the view that mental growth during childhood was such as to render an individual more adaptive to the environment. Increases in age can result in
increases both in cultural adaptation, considered in the first criterion, and biological adaptation, considered in the third criterion.

Criterion 3: Evolutionary Origins and Development

If we start with biological adaptation as the core of intelligence, then a primary means for understanding what intelligence is would have to be in terms of the
evolutionary antecedents of thought and behavior. This approach has not been widely used, although its origins are not particularly recent (Darwin, 1859, 1872/1965;
see also Stenhouse, 1973).

This volume is an attempt to remedy the relative dearth of literature on the evolution of intelligence in comparison with, for example, the psychometric
Page 5

correlates of intelligence or the development of intelligence. From an adaptationist standpoint, evolutionary considerations probably deserve special status in
understanding intelligence. Yet theorists of intelligence probably have devoted the least attention to them.

CONCLUSION

In sum, the proposal here is that three criteria for understanding the nature of intelligence are nonarbitrary, given a definition of intelligence as broad adaptation to the
environment. The first is correlation of a target thought or behavior with cultural success (cultural adaptation). The second is mental skills development (cultural and
biological adaptation). The third is evolutionary origins and development (biological adaptation). This book examines the third and, arguably, most important of these
three criteria, the evolutionary one.

Over the past few years, a discipline known as evolutionary psychology (EP) has become increasingly prominent in the public imagination. Promoted by such popular
and semipopular texts as Steven Pinker’s How the Mind Works (1997), Daniel Dennett’s Darwin’s Dangerous Idea (1995), Robert Wright’s The Moral Animal
(1994), and David Buss’ The Evolution of Desire (1994), EP is the latest model in a venerable tradition of attempts to explain human behavior and cognition as
mechanisms shaped by the forces of natural selection. According to EP, our evolutionary heritage is apparent in modern humans through the organ of our “adapted
mind’’ (in the phrase of Barkow, Cosmides, & Tooby, 1992); that is, our inherited mental architecture evolved to solve particular adaptive problems of survival and
reproduction faced by our ancestors. We utilize these same mental adaptations or modules in our modern existence, although while often navigating a very different
physical and cultural landscape. Thus, cognition and intelligence have a history; to fully understand them, we must look back to the evolutionary past that formed them.
But before we can truly examine the evolution of intelligence, we need to examine the evolutionary framework itself.

The vocabulary and ideas of EP have infiltrated the different branches of psychology to varying degrees. A significant evolutionary component has been present within
developmental psychology for some time, ever since Bowlby (1969)
