btw - One feature of religion was teaching empathy and kindness among groupings, especially since we can't sever from the animal instinct. That role is weaker today for religious institution, plus its political role since the 1400's has been a human crime, as institutions.

Nonsense. The purpose of religion is to more clearly demarcate in-group and out-group membership. That membership criteria is then used to further exclude and eliminate the out-group.
Mirror neurons are the innate source of empathy and operates naturally (within non-psychopaths) with no need for such external social constructs.
And there is no teaching, everything is animal nature, U jest! I love some of Christopher Hitchens and George Carlin but I can't take bitterness, which I find to be one of the worst traits in humans, especially in smart ones. Culture is so profaned in evolution that it must not be pooh poohed.

Is "Primates evolved large brains to manage their unusually complex social systems." belief, consensus, or fact (as asserted here)? If the last, is that the only reason?
BTW, nice image Skylar.
lol, I'd classify it as a proposition - much as I would classify the social structure piece http://subrealism.blogspot.com/2011/12/pseudo-scientific-mouthbreathing-in.html as strictly propositional.
Neither proposition seems to wear particularly well in the context of questions raised concerning the similarities between our large-scale aggregations and those of ants http://subrealism.blogspot.com/2011/11/social-insect-societies-human-societies.html
