More is not always better, indeed it rarely is in my experience.
- mrguyorama 1y agoWho told you people with autism or ADHD have "more neurons" than average? That's not correct.
- the__alchemist 1y agoI suspect this is not relevant given the broader picture of the article: In general, species with the largest brains/body-mass ratios are the most intelligent. It's a reasonable assumption that this principle holds for brain/mass ratios higher than ours.
