Size must be somewhat of a factor (brain size relative to body size, that
is), else how explain why human intelligence is greater than our
smaller-brained primate cousins, and why human intelligence increased over
the millennia as relative brain size increased? It's not the only factor, of
course, and I don't think anyone is making that argument.
