An item in the news media last week drew my attention.Over 100 years ago the Germans occupied Namibia in Africa.They massacred thousands of an indigenous tribe and took some skulls to Germany following independence.Germany has recently returned the skulls to the Namibian government.Skulls were taken to do some racial research.My questions are: is there any evidence that brain -skull size is correlatd with intelligence(whatever that is)? were German scientists the original phrenologists? I have heard that the brain-body ratio has something to do with intelligence in some species. Send me something.
