Head mirrin!

We all wish we were Werner Heisenberg.
please feel free to share science on how the physiology of the head/brain correlates with different cognitive functions.
What is your favourite head in history?
Langan, Plantinga, and E. Michael Jones have all great heads!
The heaviest human brain ever recorded weighed 2,850 grams (6 pounds 4.5 ounces). It was measured by Dutch pathologist Gerard Christiaan van Walsem in 1899, during the autopsy of an unnamed young man who died at the Meerenberg Asylum in Santpoort, near Haarlem in the Netherlands. ![alt text]

Probably not best to post it in this thread (I’ll expand on the effects of brachycephaly on the brain later), but there seems to be a trend of Eurasian populations having their skulls shortened after the adaptation of agriculture/feudal systems. -
@Rex Thanks for posting. The Neolithic Revolution and it's consequences...
What are the racial and sex differences in brain size? It seems to me that white males have the biggest heads. Is this correct?

Brain Size I can’t say too much about, but head sizes amongst Europeans can vary. Nordic and Insular Celtic heads tend to be pretty large.
