oh shit, someone's unironically still doing phrenology <:pepeLMAO:644901342216847388>

No it's just a history book hammering them. But those parts looked irrelevant

Gizmo get back here

I mean, probably... it's a nice talking point if you have the stats on hand

Differential between brain volumes

Granted, when I talk about that I just talk about encephalization ratio of animals

Brain/body ratio

@Leet lil buddy

That's it. Chapters 5 and 6 are what looked good to me

fuck is it?

Maybe

I'm reading some of the controversy surrounding it but

"...overall correlation of .30 of brain size to intelligence..."

lmao

That paper is single author though. J. Phillipe Rushton... I'll check and see if he's credible (or been shit on by the community)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Philippe_Rushton

Meh. Psychology is pretty shit so... I'm just gonna hold out for more from neurology, neuropsychology, and empirics

There's a lot of bias in this controversy so it's basically awash

@sydtko its regarding goulds criticism of psychometrics its written by a philosopher of science

I'm aware of quite a lot of the critiques but meh

this is a novel contribution not making the same arguments

Yeah, I see that it is recent, but I dunno if/when I'll read the whole paper

@Deleted User 6a019ab66177 why are you posting people?

Nice debunked book @sydtko

@Marcdoof

@Deleted User Gizmo was talking about it so I looked it up... I wouldn't say it's all debunked but yeah, he did not put forward a holistic or honest analysis without bias. Gould cherry picked and no doubt in my mind Charles Murray cherry picked

I was memeing tbh

But if was responded to

So...... that leaves me back in the skeptical boat
I believe brain size most likely will have some impact on your potential g-factor...
And you can isolate that by legit chopping up people's brains, but I don't think it's one of the more important factors

It was, yes...

By murrady and what's his name

There was a recent study claiming glial cells and lots of genes were important as well to g factor

Charles Murray and Richard Lynn?
