[quote]And now everyone is arguing..[/quote]
Arguing is a part of human nature, would be a bi-effect of us getting a brain better used and bigger than that of a fish. Might seem weird, as Einstein said: Only two things are infinite, the universe and human
stupidity, and i'm not sure about the former. which makes you wonder...

Humans as a species argue and have more mental disorders than other species because we have the most developed brains on the planet. The more complex the brain is, the more things that can go wrong. And the more things we can develop technologically, the more topics to debate about.

?you realize HS (HomoSapiens) has lost over 7oz of brain volume in the last 20K years? (from 1500 in Cro Magnon to 1300cc in modern HS)

And overlooking that the female brain is smaller anyway...
fyi HS are not the preeminent intelligent lifeform on earth, much less the galaxy! HS are little more than stoneage entities surrounded by modern technology. Try camping for a week in the wild to see how little you know about survival.
back to beta testing, I tried to see if I ever submitted a DxDiag, for updating it now, having recently improved my system to W7 and a modern gpu; but the profile page just seems to be for changing password.[/quote]
Brain size is not the only factor that accounts for intelligence, density, as in the density of neurons in an individuals brain, is a better measure of intelligence. "Absolute brain size is not a good measure of intelligence, because larger animals require larger brains just to physically operate their bodies. So an elephant may be no smarter than a rat, even though their brains are much larger.
"This holds for comparisons within a species as well. Bigger people will have bigger brains without being necessarily more intelligent. For this reason men have large brains than women (because men on average are bigger than women) and in the bad old days when sixism was endemic in the world of science this was offered (falsely) as evidence of male intellectual superiority."
