Abstract

Historically, anthropology has focused on brain volume size as a principal indicator of human intelligence. The theory of brain size/encephalisation as a correlative of intelligence in H. sapiens is both limited and unclear in describing the complexity of human cognitive abilities (Saniotis et al. 2019).
