So apparently human brains have the same neuron density ratio as pretty much all primates. The reason we are more intelligent is basically that we have a larger brain.

So therefore, it must go that people with larger brains than other people are more intelligent?

IT MUST mean that the smaller average size of human brains in modern time compared with roughly 50,000 yrs ago,
(especially in the case of neanderthals, with smaller size bodies and roughly 1/8th bigger brains, must have been fucking geniuses)

MODERN HUMANS ARE DUMBER, MORE RELIANT ON OTHERS and also, more sociable for that reason.

This also makes sense in the way that 'smarter' people seem to be more intent on doing things themselves, being less needy/sociable. Neanderthals were also said to have been less sociable than even ancient modern humans............

So either this woman is wrong or what I just said is completely correct.

How can that be /sci?

So what that must mean is, sociability has been chosen over absolute intelligence more and more in recent times, simply because a greater product comes of smaller minds working together, than great minds alone.

Why can't humans have both /sci?

Will we ever be as social as we are now and as intelligent as we were before?

Think of all the problems that would solve!

Or is it all devolution from here?

(I'd just like to note that this must also mean that women, are in fact less intelligent as individuals..... than men, but wait:
It makes perfect sense, since females have smaller brains than males, they are also more sociable, but also as I said, dumber as individuals.

It all makes sense looking at this
'All primate brains have the same neurone density ratio' discovery, then connecting it with what we see in human behavior as the size of our brains changed in the last 50,000 years.

Okay, I'll do physiology, anatomy, etc.

It actually explains eyesight and some other things.
