Great presentation. Looking forward to the next lecture.

Fascinating. Liked and shared. Not the first Grasham lecture so treated.

Well done, Sir!!! This really elevates the subject, something which has largely been based on "anecdotal evidence" up until now is finally getting the in-depth analysis it deserves. Excellent presentation....

[@WorthlessWinner]

This has never been based on anecdote. There are meta-analysis of dozens of studies on this topic that are twenty years old now!

[@FranzBiscuit]

@@WorthlessWinner Did not know that! Well, good to see that it is finally getting some "airtime".... =D

Hence the short-lived fad for prosthetic foreheads.

A jellyfish is ten times as intelligent as a starfish (????? has 10 times more neurons ????). I know a guy with big pronounced brow ridges, he is a heavy metal rockband front man ( 'screams, yells, grunts'). It took him 2 years to learn how to tune his electric guitar to the horror of the neighborhood. He destroyed his guitar before he joined a band and became a great singer. Can't wait to determine his neuron count and study his DNA, my hypothesis is at least 10 percent Neanderthal genes. What is intelligence, so hard to say, it depends on the environment.
