I've read a bit about them and most sources say this, 'they were more encephalized and even in absolute terms had larger brains, but probably were not more intelligent.'

I didn't have any idea anyone would interpret this as racist, wtf?

The discussion on skull evolution I reference here is also mentioned in the OP. How can I be accused of racism and not the OP? That isn't consistent.

Don't get hostile or defensive over a misunderstanding, please.

Well if you know your american history, it was used as yet another rationale to disparage afroamericans
