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

418 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 don’t know about elephants, but blue whales are as intelligent as humans, but they don’t have hands or anything similar to craft things. So they are forced to stay the way they are.
