Answer 1

So basically the cerebral cortex, aka the wrinkly outside of the brain, is very wrinkly. It has many folds and creases. These convolutions allow a large surface area of brain to fit inside our skulls, in a similar way that our small intestine is about 20 feet long but fits comfortably in our body. The increased surface areas allows for more neural pathways and room for billions of neurons.

So to keep it simple, it’s not brain to body ratio, nor is it how big your brain is that indicates intelligence, but how *wrinkled* your brain is.

Wrinkly Brain=Smart Brain
