The reason I posted two separate graphics is to show that Humans are very high on both spectrums. I wanted to post both together to give the context that Humans have a very high brain to bodymass ratio, and that Humans have a relatively high neuron density among most animals.
This is why Humans in most cases and considering most things are smarter than pretty much all other primates, because even though we have similar neural structure and density in comparison to most primates we have bigger brains which allows us to dedicate more of that brain mass as well as that high neural density to things that aren't specifically related to controlling our bodies.
I never said that Volume = Density, I'm an idiot but I'm at least literate on my good days
I never said that raw mass or even the amount of neurons on it's own was even important. If it was then I would be fucking posting that elephants and whales are the smartest fucking things on the planet.
Brain weight on it's own is a spook. Corvids are fucking geniuses in the animal kingdom, but their brains get mogged in size by thousands of other animals. The simplest explanations without getting into the details about how bird brains are super underrated are down to a high brain to body ratio and a high neuron density.
Now, if I'm fucking wrong about any of this shit, or even if you think I'm oversimplifying shit to a fault, please let me know because I would like to understand the subject better. However, stop giving me fucking (You)'s about shit I didn't fucking even attempt to post.
