Does a larger skull on a person signal higher intelligence ? Examining intelligence of animals with high brain-to-body (EQ) Ratios
I think it would be useful to have a discussion on brain size and intelligence - the reason I put skull size in the thread title is that I think it is safe for one to assume that the brain cannot grow "bigger" without more space available in the skull - hence the skull having to grow bigger as...- JamesGatz

Progesterone Use During Pregnancy And The Effects On Child Intelligence

High-intelligence Not Unique To Humans, Is Due To Extended Childhood
