We aim to investigate evolutionary differences of functional connectivity between humans and nonhuman primates. Specifically, we identified resting-state intrinsic connectivity networks in four primate species (humans, chimpanzees, baboons, and capuchin monkeys) spanning different levels of the evolutionary tree, and we compared similarities and discrepancies of those networks found in humans. We observed similar networks associated with primary functions in both species. Interestingly, all nonhuman primate species displayed lateralized functional networks that were strikingly similar to those observed in humans.
