Sperm whale's brains are more than 6 times the size of ours. Maybe size doesn't matter as much as you think it does.
- village-idiot 8y agoApples to oranges. It has more than 6 times the body to control than us, and lacks the cortices we have. Our ancestors however had basically the exact same neurological wiring, roughly the same amount of body to control, and even more neurons crammed into their skulls. Hence the theory that they’d be more clever than modern humans.
