Men have bigger brains, but it doesn't make them smarter. :) - 7 views

#2 Martha Rodriguez on 28 Oct 13A larger brain does not necessarily grant greater intelligence. It is generally understood that one needs to take into account the ratio of brain to body mass. Basically this means that the larger the body, the more of the brain will be devoted to "non-intelligent" tasks such as heat regulation and physical coordination. Taking this into account, males and females have roughly the same brain to body mass, and hence, almost identical levels of intelligence. This is a very interesting article. Good job Katy!
