So Neanderthals were smarter than anatomically modern humans after all. Supposedly Asians have more Neanderthal DNA than Europeans, which would explain why they are often smarter.

And if you spend your primary school days learning about how to have gay sex, to save the planet, and to avoid second hand smoke, you are forever retarded in any technical endeavor.
Logic and reasoning are enhanced by education, at least the right kind of education. The SJWs being turned out by colleges these days probably would score very low on these measures.
I cannot begin to think how one would relate brain size to intelligence, since there are so many variables and conducting a controlled study is nearly impossible. Modern humans actually have smaller brains than our ancestors, a phenomenon related to the high degree of specialization we have developed as we have become civilized. We no longer have to devote huge amounts of brain power to survival, and we do not have to carry out most tasks related to daily survival. Those tasks are being done, by people who have specifically trained to do those tasks. Domestic animals also have smaller brains than their ancestors, for much the same reason. Civilization allows for specialization while minimizing the intellectual demands of survival.
On the most basic analysis, though, one can relate brain size to intelligence. On average, human brains are much larger than mouse brains. And we are much smarter than mice.
