Correct me if I am wrong, but I cannot recall any data to support a
connection between brain weight and/or brain size and intelligence
parameters. Moreover, even if there were, there exists a host of
literature to indicate that IQ tests do not always measure intelligence.
Many IQ tests measure the person's ability to write tests (which is more
a matter of training) and/or a combination of cultural factors.
IMHO it is time that Rushton take a critical look at the anthropology
literature that he so flippantly dismisses.
