If you took solid geometry and understood rather than just memorized theorems (dig at girls) you would know that a sphere is the largest volume with the smallest surface area.

Therefore a round head (no references to Cromwell and the English revolution please) is the most efficient large brain container

Or maybe for temperature control or resistance to fracture, or all of the above. On the other hand, the cerebral cortex wrinkles up, apparently to maximize surface/volume. It’s akin to a 3D fractal surface.

Yep.

Many are educated beyond comprehension.
