@MissileStrike BTW the reason we are smarter is much simpler: generation of man

@MissileStrike BTW the reason we are smarter is much simpler: generation of man by neoteny, size, selection pressure. Variation from more primitive forms is a tradeoff between persistence of memory (see chimps) and permutation of possibilities (what we call auto-association, imagination, permutation, wayfinding and reason). East asians have more neanderthal but have developed higher neoteny evolved from an earlier generation of man. Europeans occupy a sort of ‘sweet spot’ for the body form.
