      Well I am 5ft 4in and I know lots of taller and smaller clever people. I don’t think size and intelligence are related.

      Do you mean the size of their brain Lee? There isn’t a big correlation between brain size and intelligence so the size of your brain doesn’t say how clever you are!

      Hey! Well, it depends how you define intelligence but let’s use Einstein as an example. His brain was removed (after he died) and preserved by a well-known pathologist. With regards to anatomy it has been reported that certain areas of Einstein’s brain were particularly large like the areas of the brain associated with spatial and mathematical skills (right side of the brain) whilst areas associated with language were relatively smaller (left side of the brain).
