  2. The greatest and most significant modifications in human brain capacity happened during human evolution.
  3. The brain capacity of a living modern man is around 1450 cc, compared to 500 cc in Australopithecus.
  4. Increased cranial capacity allows for a larger brain, which is the foundation of man's social, cultural, and educational growth.
