Larger brains equals higher IQ's. Neanderthals had larger brains than anyone alive today and presumably had a higher IQ too. Europeans and Asians have higher IQ's than Africans.
I think the models will have to change, because where I live the majority even the college educated act brain dead, no matter their origin. I can't seem to find in history where any 'race' seems to have a superior IQ and use it for the 'good'.
Neanderthals had larger brains but smaller prefrontals which would indicate less intellectuality.
Not strictly true; brain structure has a lot to do with intelligence as well and there was a considerable difference between the structure of Sapiens Neanderthalensis and Sapiens Sapiens.
[ “It was widely reported about six months ago that European and some Asian peoples have up to 3% Neanderthal genes. Africans have none. I don’t think anyone really challenged this data, so it is ‘the best available science’ that Europeans are part Neanderthal.”

Actually the rates of Aspergers seem to be higher in groups with Neandertal DNA in them.
Actually, IIRC, larger surface area equals higher intelligence, not necessarily size of the brain.
The modern brain has more folds in the surface of the lobes which is believed to allow for greater processing of information.
