In fact, a team at Oxford University, who measured the brain volume of 55 skulls from around the world, came out with this intriguing theory that people from countries further from the equator have more grey matter and larger eyes than those from sunnier parts, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported. This is because living in low light conditions means the eyes and brain need to work harder in order to process images to a good level of detail, or "high resolution" , say researchers.

Lead author Eiluned Pearce said the study suggests that the bigger brains and eyes are needed to see properly in dimmer light.

what did you think ? this doesn't mean they are more intelligent than us!
