Why aren’t elephants smarter than humans given their much larger brain size?

417 views

Elephants have 3x larger brains than humans. I know that their brain-to-body mass ratio is similar to humans, but shouldn’t the absolute volume matter too? It’s like having 1 CPU vs 3 CPUs, if they are comparable, then the 3 CPUs should outperform the 1. And don’t we have similarly structured brains? How come they are not nearly as smart as us?

I just think of it as all animals have superpowers:
Humans have super knowledge
Elephants can store water in there nose and cool themselves

There’s more but an elephant probably evoled to do that instead of being smart
