Why should an ape evolve the brains to learn .... Once again, evolution by natural selection is not goal directed, it is reactionary. That's why it so often fails and the species goes extinct.

Why should an ape evolve the brains to learn trig and calculus? ....For one, there are two main branches of apes, the gibbons or lessor apes; & the hominids which are the great apes. Try & have a care when you act like a chimp tossing around terms. A mixture of emergent curiosity, the brain is a pattern seeking organ, increasing storage capacity for memory & image recognition. The slow beginning of longer migrations subject to different environments that gradually add to the problem solving mechanisms & increased tool making skill sets. The great apes are tool makers & tool users, we have observed this.
