Noah's Ark wins the Debate.

The articles in the links present wild theories with no basis in reality. Why would a shorter lifeform require more brain resources to body control? That makes no sense. The human eye has a fixed resolution. Why would Neanderthal eye control require 40 percent more resources for it, when Sapiens is already using the max amount of resources for it already?

You say you don’t wanna take my word for it, but you took the word of some random scientists who made up some armchair theory in their spare time.

recent scientific study from Oxford proposes a new explanation

Okay I misread, they argued it was for larger bodies, but still.

Taller people are generally smarter than shorter people. Why would it take 40 percent extra resources for slightly finer motor control and nominally improved eyesight?

Here, we argue that, in the case of Neanderthals and AMHs, differences in the size of the body and visual system imply differences in organization between the same-sized brains of these two taxa. We show that Neanderthals had significantly larger visual systems than contemporary AMHs (indexed by orbital volume) and that when this, along with their greater body mass, is taken into account, Neanderthals have significantly smaller adjusted endocranial capacities than contemporary AMHs. We discuss possible implications of differing brain organization in terms of social cognition, and consider these in the context of differing abilities to cope with fluctuating resources and cultural maintenance.

They argued for larger bodies, and also visual system.

Lol… where do you get these ‘facts’ from? taller people smarter than shorter people? really?

Isaac Newton - He was short of stature at five feet six inches tall (the same as Beethoven and Napoleon)

Einstein - 5’ 9"

Tesla - 6’ 2"
^ That’s the tallest so far.

Stephen Hawking -
5’ 7"

I’d say average people take it. But then again there is Isaac Newton, who was brilliant.

Once again, the facts prove Trixie right.

Everybody knows that Tesla is the most brilliant one in that little statistical group you provided.

Tesla was brilliant, but Isaac Newton was the most brilliant man that has ever lived, so far. He created physics… which Tesla used dealing with electricity and inventing.

Newton didnt create physics, he simply mapped out some equations for basic behavoirs.

Tesla was almost a god. I believe he even invented the TV if I recall.

He invented calculus and was the first physicist. Tesla used calculus. Tesla was a genius but he isn’t an Isaac Newton. The guy was plugged in. Newton was also born 2 centuries before Tesla.

Newton was good at math. A pioneer at the time period but I don’t think he invented a single thing or discovered anything about the universe. We dont put calculators on pedastals.

Definitely aliens Artimas.

You need to do some research.

Nope… he just created calculus… no big deal. He just discovered and named natural laws… No big deal. He definitely invented things.

He found out some basic, obvious laws like inertia and gravity. Big whoopdie doo.

He invented a slightly improved telescope lens. Amazing.

I was never crazy over calculus.

I guess they weren’t so obvious considering no one else considered them or their importance in things.

It’s easy to say something is obvious, after you already know it. Go on then, create or discover the next best thing or most important thing. A real discovery, not just an idea without any pull or proof either.

And yes, this was nearly three centuries ago. So it kind of was amazing.
