>Bischoff, and later others, showed that the brain weight of the female
>in relation to the male's brain weight is as 90 to 100, whereas her body weight
>is to the male's only as 83 to 100. Now if we were to raise the female's body
>weight to the equivalent proportion of the male, namely, 100 units, then one
>would have to add 17 units to the existing 90 for the female proportion of the
>brain to that of the male, giving us a figure of 107 for the female as compared
>with 100 brain units for the male.
