homo sapien neaderthalis) were actually as intelligent, if not more intelligent, than homo sapiens sapiens

As determined by scientists, many thousands of years after Neanderthals lived. And, the bigger size of the head, and even the size of the brain, do not indicate higher intelligence. That's mostly an assumption, which can't be verified. Whales and dolphins also have large brain sizes, some even larger than humans, so, would scientists conclude that whales and dolphins are smarter or as smart as humans?

Did you know the largest brain of an animal weighs a whopping 7.8kg? But which animal does it belong to? That award for the animal has the biggest brain goes to the sperm whale. The average weight of an adult male sperm whale's brain is 7.8kg compared to 1.4kg for a human's

So, is a sperm whale 5 or 6 times smarter than a human?
