It has been suggested that g is related to evolutionary life histories and the evolution of intelligence [131] as well as to social learning and cultural intelligence. [132] [133] Non-human models of g have been used in genetic [134] and neurological [135] research on intelligence to help understand the mechanisms behind variation in g.
