Bibliography
Evaluation of brain and body size is important in studies about intelligence. When comparing animals and their levels of intelligence, one method is to look at respective brain sizes. On the next couple of pages will be a series of tables designed to help us visualize brain and body sizes and develop questions from them. The table below shows brains proportional to the size of the animal pictured. Click on the pictures of the animals to read specific information about the species.
Now look at this chart to see the approximate values delineated above or go to . . .
