Adult brain?

Submitted by What? (guest) on Mon, 03/18/2013 - 8:29pm.

Am I missing something? Why does the comparison say that the human body is 100 cm? Every other animal body length corresponds with the correct brain weight, length, etc... I don't come across many adults that are about 3 feet tall. Additionally, the body weight of a human (per your standards) is 136 lbs, making this human example pretty much an obese midget.
