Some strctures less complex than brains might be selected for “look ahead” like benefit. For example the evolution of sex. Also having features coded in multiple ways in DNA. Some of the DNA encodings might be selected for “evolvability”. Making things like epigenetic switches and in general control genes can be seen as a modelling layer a bit more abstract than concrete features.
