I suspect that human intelligence is only partially related to the mass of neurons it has in his brain. Without a minimum certainly it would not be capable of being what it is, but once that a minimal mass is granted, what matters is relations and the quality of relations, the "program". In a recent discovery about the brain of Einstein, it follows that his superiority was not related to the total mass of it -in fact it was less heavy than average brains- but in the specific richness of a tiny zone of his brain that has a tiny fraction of neurons. And even there I tend to believe that Einstein was Einsteien due not to that, but to the way he used that little portion of his brain. The patterns, the way you see the world, the algorythms of your thinking are the clue. That's reason of differences in the way of thinking of each man respect to any other man AND of the category that each specific kind of thinking has in certain field compared with others. Fernando
