Here is a (likely) hypothesis from the article:

Perhaps, though, it also made the Boskops excessively internal and self-reflective. With their perhaps astonishing insights, they may have become a species of dreamers with an internal mental life literally beyond anything we can imagine.

I always thought larger brains were just a cliche?

You know, kind of how a fucking whale isn't smarter than a human?

Obviously, ancient aliens.

I expected this, so I deliberately put in a note toward the bottom that includes an MRI study showing brain size to be correlated with IQ by 0.44. Read the fucking study. It's MRI, not "geussing."

>>3795255
SMART ANCIENT HUMANS?

Obviously they interbreed with Europeans. This proves all other races are inferior.

/signed an intelligent stormfag.

Big brain =/= intelligence

Neanderthals had bigger brains than modern humans.

>>3795273
Actually there is a theory on the internet that the Boskops were actually visiting aliens (hence why they disappeared).

This is interesting. There must be a ceiling to the evolution of intelligence. Something must have stopped this from evolving. Probably the large brains were too metabolically costly.

Maybe Idiocracy was right.

Stop simplifying shit. The brain structure has as much to do with intelligence as the brain size : body size ratio. Until they get a well preserved skull that has impressions of the brain on it to compare the different portions of the brain, you can't draw any fucking conclusions.

Hint: humans don't have the highest brain : body ratio, structure is important.

>>3795271
that's a myth, of course -- it's all about the pencil.
The pencil lobby refuses to make whale-compatible pencils, which reduces their ability to compete in a global market.
The Japanese approach is more direct, but it's all about keeping the whales out of the global jobs market.

Now, give a whale a nice large fountain pen, and watch the poetry and mathematics flow...

you can't compare IQ's on anything other than extant humans, thus IQ will never equal EQ when dealing with non-modern humans.

Shrews have higher ratios than humans.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0160289691900318

Using magnetic resonance imaging, we show that larger brain size (corrected for body size) is associated with higher IQ in 40 college students equally divided by high versus average IQ, and by sex. These results suggest that differences in human brain size are relevant to explaining differences in intelligence test performance.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016028969900015X

The relation of IQ (Cattell's Culture Fair Intelligence Test) to brain size was studied in 103 right- and left-handed men and women at Atatürk University in eastern Turkey. Cerebral areas were measured on a midsagittal section of the brain using MRI. An overall correlation of 40 was found between MRI-measured total area and IQ thereby further supporting the IQ–brain size hypothesis. Additional analyses suggested that these results may need qualification. In men, only anterior cerebral area correlated with IQ. In women, total and posterior cerebral areas were correlated with IQ. Other results varied by handedness.

Is there any evidence that artificial selection can enhance intelligence without horrible consequences? Have a chat to a well versed dog breeder.

Is there any evidence to suggest it's even possible or achievable? Or, do you just (falsely) consider yourself intelligent and you don't want to be forever alone?

>>3795400
>In men, only anterior cerebral area correlated with IQ.
As I said, structure is FUCKING IMPORTANT.

And the shrew has a bigger brain to body ratio than humans do, so FUCK THE FUCK OFF.

>>3795400
these are all modern humans.

how does that in any way allow us to compare modern humans to extinct hominids of a different species, let alone animals we're far less related to?

or are we just trying to turn this into a /new/ thread? I'll sage and ignore just in case.

>>3795395
>you can't compare IQ's on anything other than extant humans, thus IQ will never equal EQ when dealing with non-modern humans.

Yes, you can. Evolution is slow, and these bones are not that old on an evolutionary time scale. They were still Homo sapiens sapiens by all accounts. Hell, even Neanderthals had an FST (genetic distance) of something as small as 0.08, IIRC.

Given that current populations of modern, extant humans differ genetically by a large degree anyway, and brain size is correlated among all modern humans, we can make the educated assumption that prehistoric humans such as the Boskop also had similar if not identical genes controlling the way brain size correlates with intelligence.

Please tell me why you think the Boskop are so different from us, when their bones are nearly identical to modern humans.

>>3795404
implying dogs are highly intelligent apex predators like human beings

it's absolute possibly, Intelligence is heritable, coorelates at ~0.8.

I have a big brain, confirmed by mri. Yet I'm an idiot.

How can this be?

>>3795413
the brain size might be the same, but modern human beings have vastly more neural interconnections due to the amount of education / etc we receive during our formative years.

I don't think they're significantly different. I think any speculation about their IQ is bullshit until you test one.

your speculation rates a 6 on the modified Boucot scale- it's reasonable, but entirely unsupportable with current evidence.

>>3795411
>>3795406
>>3795403

Hey, I just quoted studies. Did not add a single comment. If you have any evidence for your position, I'd be glad to hear it.

It really is counterintuitive to even think that brain size is NOT correlated with intelligence. People who have larger muscles can lift heavier objects. People who have longer legs can dunk easier. Similarly, people who have larger brains can perform mental tasks easier (relative to their body size, of course).

Anyway, the evidence is on my side and on the side of the authors of the Boskop-high-intelligence theory.

Human beings have been artifically selecting for intelligence, Thats why the flynn effect occurs and IQ tests keep having to be re-averaged

>>3795413
artifical selection

same reason that human height has increase so fast, because it's been selected for by women over and over again.

They were not extremely intelligent

THEY HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE. But their society was not as advanced as ours.

OP here. Those aren't me. I'm not a stormfag. I'm genuinely interested in the Boskops.

What if a highly intelligent group of mankind existed and mysteriously went extinct? Why did they go extinct? What could possibly lead intelligent individuals to no longer further their species?

There are one or two /new/ fags ITT who have been derailing it. They are not me. I don't know why you even assumed they are me.

Can't we talk about prehistoric humans without it turning into a "race shitstorm"?

Why does OPs pic use a caucasian skull and then claim it's a 'modern human skull?'

Why does everyone on TV and in science pretend there aren't different skull types within homo sapiens sapiens' sub-species?

>>3795500
why do you assume that intelligence equals success when we're the only creatures in which it does? We're wildly successful by our own standards, but not particularly successful by any other.

But anyways, brain size isn't used as a measure of technology, which is our actual specialization, not intelligence. To compare technology we look at tools. As far as I know no boskop tools are known, and even if they are, they certainly aren't band saws and arc welders.

intelligence means nothing if you don't apply it. I realize this is a difficult idea for /sci/ to grasp, but it is the case.

>>3795474
>If Boskops were intelligent or good they would have survived

Wrong straight off the bat. We don't know that. That's a baseless assumption.

In fact, all the current evidence points to an NEGATIVE correlation between IQ and fertility.

There are a number of reasons an intelligent group of humans could have died off. Just look at intelligent people that you know IRL. Your professors, for instance. Find out, do they have more or less children than less intelligent people you know? Almost invariably, smart people have less children.

>or none (Tesla)

Haha, article is hilariously inaccurate and misleading. That being said, if there was a race that was smarter than humans, I would jump ship in a second and go hang out with them.

Is there a Star Trek: TNG episode about this? It seems like there would be.

this is because of liberalism. without intelligent people being forced to subsidize the existence of third worlders, low IQ people would have low populations as well. but since intelligent people are forced to feed and heal them, and all they know how to do is have sex and eat, its no wonder theyre over populating while the intelligent are under populating

>>3795528
>if there was a race that was smarter than humans, I would jump ship in a second and go hang out with them.

As far as we can tell, the Boskops were still humans. They were a separate "race" (for lack of a better word) of humans, but not a wholly separate species by any means.

I enjoyed this thread OP.
Perhaps an ecological disaster lead to their eventual demise.
Smart people don't have the answer to everything.
Without seismographs, how would they prepare for an earthquake?
With no early warning systems, how would they prepare for an especially harsh winter?
This whole "if you're intelligent enough you'll survive" stuff is horseshit when you factor in the hundreds of environmental factors that could lead to death.

>>3795602
Also, I have to agree with>>3795518
If they were truly intelligent, we'd have seen some evidence of tools, unless they only made biodegradable tools.
Perhaps while the Neanderthal came to grips with hunting, killing and skinning with primitive tools, the Boskop were too busy creating cave paintings and foraging.
You can't forage very well in a harsh winter, which would tie my original post to this quite well.

>>3795602
That's a good point. There could easily have been an earthquake, hurricane, etc., that wiped them out, independent of any possible effort on their part to avoid it. Of course they didn't have ambulances or trauma surgeons, so this could exacerbate the death toll.

It's a shame we haven't recovered any of their DNA. Good night, sweet princes.

>Discover magazine gave Lynch and Granger' book a "fairly positive review"[2] and reprinted an excerpt. John Hawks says "The portrayal of "Boskops" in the Discover excerpt is so out of line with anthropology of the last forty years, that I am amazed the magazine printed it. I am unaware of any credible biological anthropologist or archaeologist who would confirm their description of the "Boskopoids," except as an obsolete category from the history of anthropology."

>He does note that the Web editor at Discover replied that 'the excerpt was intended to run identified as a "controversial idea, but that context didn't come across as intended."'. and that "The web page has been changed to make that context clear".

Oh boy, so we have fossil evidence but they don't exist?

Fossils and skeleton remains are pretty strong evidence. I'd like to see what evidence there is that can possibly debunk all this.

>>3795740

If they are so smart, why are they dead? Checkmate.

We killed them off because we are a retarded lifeform.

Here's my theory as to why they are extinct.
South Africa doesn't have fertile soil, or good cereal grains growing near it at the time. Africa also has a poor selection of livestock, i actually think it originally had none. Since these guys never had a constant food surplus due to lack of good farming conditions none of them could become specialized. Also due to their larger brains they probably needed more calories, and their larger heads made it harder for them run after prey.

>>3796402
did u know that milk cows come from India

So I'm guessing they were niggers?

That's why they died out.

lol smart niggers

>>3796454
They were definitely different from modern blacks (indeed, they were different from all modern humans), although their skin was probably as dark due to adapting to the African climate.

They must have looked like fucking aliens with those out-of-proportion skulls.

But their bigger brains may have been caused by some weird genetic mutation that wasn't passed on much since then, since it made them less attractive probably.
