Are Stories a Key to Human Intelligence? How do paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the development of ideas in
the text? Cite evidence from the text in your answer.

Paragraph 1-2
In a talk in Pittsburgh in 1997, the late evolutionary biologist Stephen J. Gould allegedly characterized humans as “the primates who tell stories.” Psychologist Robyn Dawes went much further, suggesting humans are “the primates whose cognitive 1 capacity shuts down in the absence of a story.”
To be sure, we love a good story. Research suggests thatanecdotes 2 can be as persuasive as hard data, and that jurors are influenced by the quality of the prosecution’s and defense’s “stories” when deciding whether to find a defendant guilty. Even in science, we seekexplanations, not mere descriptions; in history, we want a goodnarrative, not a mere sequence of events.
