Robert Winston has said that most of our brain is used for facial recognition or something to that effect. I guess that to be able to distinguish many individual faces apart even when they are very similar must take a lot of brain power.
It is an interesting subject, certainly. I really do wonder how important intelligence is for us evolutionary-wise. I'm aware it's not important for most species.
But then again... maybe it is? There are degrees of intelligence. Even the reptilian brain alone is beneficial for survival.
