A new meta-analysis by the University of Vienna, University of Goettingen, and Tilburg University has confirmed a small association between brain size and IQ, independent of age and sex. The study concluded that brain structure and integrity are more important factors.
Some facts:
- In 1836 German physiologist Friedrich Tiedemann linked brain size to intellectual power.
- The sperm whale has the largest central nervous system by mass.
-- Controlling for body weight, the shrew has the largest.
- Men have larger brains than women, but there is no IQ difference between the sexes. (Debatable. Rushton thought there was.)
- Megalencephalic individuals (who have larger brains) have lower IQs than average.

I got a big sexy brain. Wanna see? ~teehee.

is rushton even close to credible? Do people in the scientific community take him seriously?
My computer is the size of a small building. Clearly it must be the most powerful computer ever built!
It's not the brain size, it's how curvy it is.
Look at this piece of shit tardigrade walking. It's much smaller than a sand grain and it learned walking already. Even human babies can't learn it in a year.

Brains size doesn't really matter. It's the density that matters.

it seems /pol/ is all over /sci/ today.

It's not the size of the brain that matters, it's how you fuck people with it that matters.

they have been for the past months.
the problem is they think they are smart, so they make their way here.

Being overlooked here is that typical content on /sci/ (which should be called /undergraduatemajorpolitics/) is far, far, far dumber than some guys on /pol/ screaming about how any significant event means it's "happening" or unironically using the word "degenerate" to describe any social freedoms. Also, /pol/ is closer to being correct about the efficacy and importance of IQ than /sci/ by accident.
