Actually, brain size has nothing to do with making us human. Brain size is usually related to the overall size of the species. Whales and Elephants have larger brains than we do and overall, more neurons in their brains because of it. What separates us is the number of neurons we have in our cerebral cortex. The part of the brain responsible for giving us consciousness. It's unique to the human species.
