Even a 100 cc average volume differential does not necessarily imply a higher innate 'intelligence'.

What if the difference is in the number of cells in the occipital lobe? Or perhaps a larger thalamus? Or perhaps the brain is more "compressed"?

One needs to exercise caution when making such extensions - often they end up being non sequiturs.
