Okay so my field of study is Math, which is not Scientific (Math's knowledge structure is rooted in the zetetical method, for starters) but I like to read about other subjects, too sometimes because Math necessarily has to do with those other subjects.
I was reading empirics, philosophy, and textbook-type knowledge on IQ scores, the brain, etc. and for brains without syndromal defects in cognitive matter (but not necessarily gifted brains), it takes anywhere from 4.320000000009g of grey matter to 5.80000000016g to do the work of 1 IQ point, but there is a necessary amount of white matter and compounds needed to transmit grey matter activity, of course.
Some apriori assumptions are that form follows function, and that what used to be called "organic quality" can be very variant. However, I did not have the means to assess the exact degree of speculation, sadly, but I DID do a wealth of reading and thinking.

Here is a good (laymans terms) article about brain sizing.
Brains must become more complicated in order to get larger. When they get larger, they are able to function differently.
Also IQ is a very flawed measure of intellect.

@DZhukovin Just wondering, how does Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs fit into this argument?
@DZhukovin Please identify, rather than dismiss questions. That is the spirit of this group, or so I thought. I am asking as a question to expand my knowledge of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
@DZhukovin I know Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, I just don't understand the context in which you are placing it and asking for some guidance here.
@DZhukovin That's fair enough. Thanks for opening an area to explore anyway
Professor Irwin Corey has been resurrected!!!.......there is a god after all.

I'm afraid you've possibly lost many of us (I know you lost me). Maybe restate in layman's terms?
