Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Possible response points:
Social brain theory begins with comparing the brain size of different species to see what behavioral differences go with larger brains.
Such comparisons of brain size usually have to adjust for the proportion of the brain size with respect to body size.
In general, research in this area has revealed that larger brains tend to be found in more social species. Bigger brains tend to go with having to live in larger and more complex social groups.
The implication of social brain theory is that our brain is primarily for understanding each other, not just the world around us.
