Eli5 Why does having a brain with more wrinkles make you smarter?

I’ve heard it explained as a density problem but that doesn’t make sense too me either because then wouldn’t having a smooth brain mean it’s more solid?

It doesn’t.
That’s based on out dated beliefs based on making broad generalizations involving animals.

Corvids (crows/raven/etc) are some of the smartest animals in nature, and they have smooth brains.

All humans have wrinkly brains, so there isn’t even a smooth brain human.
