they'd have to evolve wider canals

South Africans have the lowest brain volumes

2017-04-23 22:59:58 UTC  

East Africans more.

2017-04-23 23:00:07 UTC  

The khoi san

2017-04-23 23:00:22 UTC  

bigger dudes have more brain volume

2017-04-23 23:00:26 UTC  

but aren't smarter

2017-04-23 23:00:33 UTC  

what's going on there?

2017-04-23 23:00:36 UTC  

Brain volume alone does not matter. Brain volume compared to body volume does

2017-04-23 23:00:38 UTC  

that is what is going on

2017-04-23 23:00:44 UTC  

no, that doesn't matter either dummy.

2017-04-23 23:00:46 UTC  

That is why magpies are smarter than other larger animals with larger brains

2017-04-23 23:00:49 UTC  

Actually undersized people are stupider on average.

2017-04-23 23:00:49 UTC  

Yes it does, dummy

2017-04-23 23:00:52 UTC  

nope.

True midgets

2017-04-23 23:01:04 UTC  

the brain is a network of neurons right?

2017-04-23 23:01:16 UTC  

Proportional dwarves

2017-04-23 23:01:21 UTC  

assuming reasonably that more neurons and more connections = "better" brain

2017-04-23 23:01:23 UTC  

that's what you need

2017-04-23 23:01:31 UTC  

that doesn't necessarily translate to more volume

2017-04-23 23:01:46 UTC  

nor brain volume vs. body size etc.

2017-04-23 23:01:51 UTC  

It also depends why you are smaller. Nutrition stunted growth

2017-04-23 23:01:57 UTC  

Is huge.

2017-04-23 23:02:03 UTC  

In India and Africa

2017-04-23 23:02:14 UTC  

And Medical Europenless so

2017-04-23 23:02:39 UTC  

finding little bits of fact to fit into a previously crafted worldview is how most smart people operate

2017-04-23 23:02:49 UTC  

and it's not necessarily wrong

2017-04-23 23:02:50 UTC  

I do it

2017-04-23 23:02:56 UTC  

Most people are unable to change their world views

2017-04-23 23:03:11 UTC  

Most Muslims are muslins as they were raised muslim

2017-04-23 23:03:18 UTC  

Same with most religions

2017-04-23 23:03:27 UTC  

yeah I probably would not be a muslim if I was not raised one

2017-04-23 23:03:34 UTC  

Only proper ascetics like me can understand violence in all it's metaphysical and spiritual glory

2017-04-23 23:03:38 UTC  

continue

2017-04-23 23:04:21 UTC  

I mean it's my good fortune, if I was raised as a non-muslim it's probable that I would have great difficulty (or find it impossible) to reach the same place

2017-04-23 23:04:31 UTC  

I was close to disbelief in my late teens

2017-04-23 23:04:31 UTC  

However the metaphysical cosmology of Islam is not grasped by most Muslims just like with Christianity.

2017-04-23 23:04:38 UTC  

And Judaism.

2017-04-23 23:05:02 UTC  

I wouldn't be too sure about that, your average pakistani muslim at least really does understand his religion more than your average christian
