>The Boskop Man is an anatomically modern human fossil of the Middle Stone Age (Late Pleistocene) discovered in 1913 in South Africa
>by the 1970s this "Boskopoid" type was widely recognized as representative of the modern Khoisan populations
>neurologists Gary Lynch and Richard Granger claimed the large brain size in Boskop individuals might be indicative of particularly high general intelligence.
>The Boskop Man fossils are notable for their unusually large cranial capacities, with reported cranial-capacity ranges between 1,700 and 2,000 cm3
