Hi,
I am writing articles about Neanderthals and the notion of genetic degeneration, and I find that I can't find coherent averages for brain size in Europe.
On wikipedia I find
The volume is around 1260 cm3 in men and 1130 cm3 in women.
But Rushton on the other hand in 1995 gives 1267 cm3 for Africans 1347 cm3 for Whites. Who is right ?!
[I find that Scandinavians have 1,484 cc.
I need to settle on a correct (and unique) scale to accord the demonstrations to the precise figures. I can't measure the degeneration since the start of agriculture and before without knowing precisely how much the brain has shrunk, if there's nearly a 100 cc of difference between sources.
Thanks !
