Addition to Patrick Kelly's Critique of Andrew Mcnamara's Life of a Non-Human Animal

Patrick brought up a good point when he said, "their brains are not the same size or shape as ours and that is where we think our intellectual superiority comes from." I remember an anthropology major had come to my high school class and she said that anthropology was not always a respected field because it's theory on head sizes supported slavery. This does not mean the science today is not accurate, but  with regards to this time period it is inaccurate because minorities are some of the leading thinkers of today.
