It is not a good measure because larger members of the same expected to have larger brains, but not necessarily higher intelligence, than species would be smaller members. Is questionable as well: 1/49 for humans, but squirrel monkeys are 1/31. Allometry: different rate of growth for different parts of the body. Not all tissues/body parts grow at the same rate. Example: head height to body length at birth is 1:4, but in adults it is 1:7. 5. The study of the change in proportion of various body parts as a consequence of different does not have a brain. growth rates. If a specie is 2x larger than another, it brain 2x larger. Typically, only 1. 6x large due to different rates of growth for the body and the.
