The question is who have bigger cranial capacity,dolichocephals or brachiocephals? Does cranial capacity really matters in terms of cephalic index? Or does dolichocephals/brachiocephals only have different skull shape,but similar cranial capacity?
I heard somewhere that Beethoven had only 900cc in brain size,while Russian writer Turgenev had over 2500cc in terms of brain size...
And at end,does brain shape and capacity really affects inteligence and creativity?
I have also heard that retards have ultra small and ultra big brains...

Dolichocephaly and brachycephaly exist in both groups with small average endocranial capacities and groups with large ones. Cro-Magnons were dolichocranic and had large brains, while e.g., modern Negrids are also dolichocranic but have smaller brains. Brain size is correlated with g, however the correlation explains a small part of the variance in g. In other words, brain size is a very crude criterion of intelligence.

Gee....I was just about to ask that same question. This is just a proof that we Serbs share one brain
