Please provide ANY study on the evolution of the brain, the part of the brain the determines, Drive, hard work, intelligence, emotion, humor, the ability to work with others. etc..

I thought social Darwinism was discredited a while back? All that matters are the ability to stay alive and reproduce a generation that also can stay alive long enough to reproduce. Think bacteria, protozoa and insects. They seem to be doing splendidly, evolutionarily speaking. There are a whole lot of species that don't work hard, show intelligence, emotion, humor etc. When was the last time someone described a mushroom as hard working with a sense of humor? Where is the evidence that Mother Nature (Natural selection) favors those traits.
