What is anyone's guess? The brain isn't a trait. It's something that evolved due to natural selection? Do you accept natural selection?

I don't know what you mean. I think if you did, you could have made it clear by now so I'm going to leave it here.

appeals to natural selection don't explain which of two co-extensive traits is an adaptation and which is a by-product of adaptation

What do you mean by this? I'm sure you could explain clearly if you wanted to. Think about why you don't want to.

natural selection can't distinguish traits that cause fitness from traits that are merely correlated with traits that cause fitness
