at times it can be a hindrance in being efficient.
2. Attention management is something one must nurture to be efficient.

4. Unraveling the evolution of uniquely

human cognition – by Evan L. MacLean
1. Uniqueness of human traits was proven with adequate research by scientists but
an attempt to find the reasons for evolvement of such traits is rarely done.
2. A study on traits of bonobos and Chimps under various circumstances is tested
to find the reason between evolution of human traits that we possess now.
3. Many data currently support the hypothesis that it is an early emerging set of
social skills for reasoning about conspecifics as intentional agents, coupled with
a distinctly cooperative and prosocial motivation, that fuels many of our most
remarkable cognitive achievements.
4. Even though human cognitive skills are very advanced than other species, our

human traits had bolstered or played a vital role in evolvement of human
cognizance.
