homo erectus had a much larger brain, I'd figure the dumbest of them were 200 IQ "moderns" by comparison. the coneheads, who probably built the pyramids, also had massive brain (vs body) volumes.

He's referring to Neanderthals which did in fact have a larger cranial capacity than modern humans. Archaic and early modern humans had larger brains than contemporary humans as well. From what I've read a bigger human brain doesn't necessarily equate to a smarter, at least in the academic sense, person and Einstein's brain is said to be noteworthy for other reasons. Based on what I've read it doesn't really seem like his brain was any different than an ordinary career academic.

Ok, I thought it was erectus. It was another, can't recall name.
