  • Oh, I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the time scales on the second part. The brain size tripled over the last ~1-2 million years, not a few thousand. Nevertheless, pretty astounding. What's also worth thinking about is that the Homo neanderthalensis (~50,000 years ago) had a larger brain than the modern Homo sapiens sapiens (us today). What does THAT tell us?! LOL
