How did our consciousness and the huge brain that houses it evolve? Because
they have survival value, of course, but there is more to it than that. In
Machiavellian Intelligence II, Andrew Whiten and Richard Byrne argue that the
complex social interactions of our ancestors—including manipulation,
deception and other forms of devious behaviour—were the driving force of
our intellectual development. Published by Cambridge University Press,
