"The superior cognitive capabilities of the human brain over the elephant brain ..."

Just think of the human hand or the mimicry we can express and how many muscles and associated sensoric feeds our brain continuously. Mass is relevant, but up to a certain degree.
I mean, yes you got hands and fingers, but they work because they have nerves in them and those are basically extensions of the brain.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."
