As about the brain and large muscle mass thing, well Gorilla have larger muscle mass yet their brain is smaller than humans; so it's not always that.


Yes, their is a lot of re-evaluation going on with Neanderthals lately. The main problem being that data is scarce and so speculation must be greater.

And true there are not many hard and fast rules on brain size. Its not just quantity but also what the structure and complexity or 'quality' is.

But I am intrigued by this concept, that if you allow that muscle mass does require some management by the brain then what happens when Joe or Jane Average suddenly decides to become a muscle bound bodybuilder?

Where does the brain get the assets to manage all this new muscle ? Is there 'free space' available to use, or must resources be taken from other areas ? Has anyone done a before and after IQ type test of Mr & Mrs Universes ?

:lol:

But as far as the actual topic goes Idk. Maybe up the dowry a few cows and goats?


Women's brains are smaller but more efficient; using less brain cells to achieve the same task, it's due to more connections between them if I recall right. IQ averages are the same but the IQ bell curve is flatter for men, meaning more gifted males than females but also more mentally challenged; and all IQ studies show persisting results on the disparity in sub-scores between the genders: Spatial vs verbal...etc.

Yeah, besides mass there are structural and functional differences. It got me wondering if some of todays tendencies harken back to the habitual roles of eons ago. Like where men were hunters and women primarily gatherers. Is this expressed in the tendency for men to like guns and cars (lethality, movement, range) and women shopping? Or more to the point, do these activities somehow provide positive stimulation to differently developed parts of the brain? Are genetic researchers kicking around the idea of designing a one-size-fits-all-genders Unibrain? Can you pre-order? I suppose we are headed in that direction anyway, but natural Evo takes lots of time.

There are times I would absolutely swear that going to the gym a lot makes people dumber! Maybe that's why there are more mentally challenged men than women. :wink: :lol:

Money hungry women, plotting schemes on men, that's why they are single and unable to find anyone.

Well, the senior female at my work has always said that she wouldn't want marry someone less than a millionaire.

I am not sure if she always says her to justify her single status or she's really single at 40 because of that requirement.

What are the sex ratios of disorders like Down syndrome? Severe autism is 3 to 4x more common among males.

most of the time, it's when the right man in the first place asked them out and they said no, and later when he finds someone else and is happy, she regrets it. When will women just give decent nice guys a chance? Get to at least know someone on a friendship level and stop pushing nice men away because of their primitive instincts.

The prime child bearing age for both men and women is around 20-35.

This probably is a factor embedded within the dating game, when people are thinking long term and about children.

Contrary to popular belief nice guys do finish first in one thing. Too bad its being eaten in zombie apocalypses. So one can't discount primitive instincts entirely.

I prefer cars over shopping any day.

Also, women are from the future and men are from the past.

Frankly, the pure size of one's brain is usually pretty irrelevant to an assessment of relative intelligence--unless a complete lobe is missing.

A female's brain might, on average, be smaller because females, on average, are smaller than males.

We HAVE to look at the individual, not at generalizations---looking at generalizations is like beating a dead horse :wall:

It never succeeds at arriving at any truth.

...so zombies would prefer men then? You know, bigger brains. That's interesting in a morbid kind of way.
