Good thing the size of one's head doesn't determine intelligence.

Chinese people's heads becoming smaller

Researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology (IVPP) at the Research Center for Chinese Frontier Archaeology, a branch of the Chinese Academy of Science at Jilin University, have found that in the last 10,000 years, the physical characteristics of Chinese people have undergone many changes.

Dr. Wu Xue Jie from the IVPP said experts in the research team tested, analyzed and compared 718 skulls belonging to Chinese adult males who lived during the New Stone Age, the Bronze Age and modern times. They discovered that Chinese people's craniums and viscerocraniums are getting smaller; their noses and eye sockets are becoming narrower; and their skulls are becoming more rounded.

The reason people's skulls grew smaller during the Holocene epoch are not known and this will be the subject of further study. However, Dr. Lu believes the changes are most likely related to climate, flow of population, production systems and lifestyle.

Pfft, Hideo Kojima would never accept 'small' in any form as a gauge of his skull or brain.

brain size is irrelevent because of neuron compactness varying. but cranial shape might mean changes in the parts of the brain that are becoming more specialised. changes to eye and nostril place ment could effect the senses. but the brain should compensate. this may be the reaction to increasing population.

Oh, it's about the head on your shoulders...

Well at least their penises will seem bigger now by comparison.

But...Hideo Kojima is Japanese.

Point taken. Misplaced joke about well-deserved game designer and his fancy for boastful cheer coming back to haunt me. ​

Brain size is not irrelevent. It might be only one factor involved in intelligence, but it is not irrelevent. The areas in Einstein's brain that involve math were shown to be far more developed and had more brain cells in those areas than the average person.
