The whale's brain is many times as large. There is a theory that intelligence is based, not on the size of the brain, but on the proportion between the size of brain and size of body. Whales point out that there has never been any evidence to support this theory and that it was invented by humans immediately upon their discovery that humans did not possess the largest brains on the planet. They go on to say that the larger one's body, the less one actually has, or is inclined, to do with it. Thus can the cerebrum concentrate on things cerebral.
Whales are more compassionate as well as more intelligent than their genocidal tormentors.
While the dumbest whale that ever lived is twice as smart as the smartest Norwegian, no whale has ever harpooned a Norwegian on purpose. This Project Galactic Guide site owned by Alex McLintock .
