Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nocturnal mammals needed to navigate in the dark, which led to the development of spatial maps in their brains.

Consciousness and gray matter are not directly related to the evolution of spatial maps, and while mental images may be a part of this ability, they are not the primary focus.
