I liked this bit
"It is thought that the smaller brain-case of the Southern specimins explains why they did not make the leap to yeast fermentation at the same time as the Northern specimins, but instead concentrated their technolgy on the cabonation of lemon-water. The warmer climate also made life easier and less manually exerting resulting in the underdevelopment of the forearm.
All of which explains why the Southern specimins are limp wristed, shandy drinking poofters"

"The team, from the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology, used skulls dating from the 1800s kept at museums in Oxford and Cambridge.
"The skulls were from indigenous populations ranging from Scandinavia to Australia, Micronesia and North America."

People who live at higher latitudes have larger eyes and more processing power in their brains to deal with visual information compared with those living nearer the equator, a study suggests.Tags: None
