Famous men with biggest brains

[cosmoo]

This is a pretty short list, if anyone has more, please add.
All measurements are done according to Manouvrier's formula (to convert from weight to volume, multiply roughly by 1.0105).

1. Ivan Turgenev (Russian writer) - 2011 grams - roughly 2030 ccm


2. Petar II Petrović Njegoš (Montenegrin poet and ruler) - 1995 grams - 2016 ccm


3. Georges Cuvier (French naturalist and zoologist)- 1814 grams - roughly 1833 ccm


4. George Gordon Byron (British poet, volunter in Greek-Ottoman war) - 1807 grams - roughly 1825 ccm


5. Friedrich von Schiller (German poet, physician and historian) - 1785 grams - roughly 1803 ccm


6. Ivan Pavlov (Russian physiologist) - 1653 grams - roughly 1670 ccm


7. Dmitri Mendeleev (Russian chemist and inventor, created periodic table of elements) - 1571 grams - roughly 1587 ccm


8. Anatole France (French journalist, poet, and novelist) - 1517 grams - roughly 1532 ccm




If anyone has their metric data, feel free to post them too, I have only for one currently:

Kim Jong Il had the largest brain ever measured according to the MRIs Francois Xavier Roux took back to France in 2008. Interestingly he also has an en bombe skull morphology. This is what you call a high-gravity brain.

[AwdiKei]

Naturalist and Zoologist Georges Cuvier's brain was ~1830cc.

Interesting, is weight/volume of his brain known?

Grab the Gauge is an eskimo.

Thanks, added.
Weight of his brain was 64 imperial ounces, or 1814 grams, so yes, it is circa 1830 ccm in volume.

Iosif Lazaridis' (the geneticist) head looks extremely wide, not sure about length and general size though:
