Human Brain Size Relative to Body
■■■■■
A general feeling or impression that the human brain is proportionally larger relative to body size than it actually is, perhaps fueled by its complex functions.
●
What People Remember
People sometimes recall a stronger impression that the human brain is proportionally much larger within the body than actual anatomical ratios.
◉
What's Actually True
While the human brain is remarkably complex, its size relative to body weight (around 2% of total body weight) is not exceptionally large compared to some other animals. It's the complexity, not just the size, that stands out.
