Boskop vs woman with half a brain

I read two interesting articles today in "The Brain" a magazine about...you guessed it the brain. The first article was about a woman who lost half of her brain and is functioning completely normally, and then other was about boskops a species of hominid with brains sizes that were 30% larger than our own. The Boskop which was discovered in South Africa, were lived at the same time homosapiens were first being found. Their brain size was not large because of size, but their relative brain size was 30% larger than average humans. The researcher said that based on this data and the observation that a majority of the larger tissue was in the pre-frontal cor text indicated that their average IQ scores would be higbh genius level, which means that their geniuses had some impressive thinking abilities. Scientist theorized that they died out possibly because they simply arrived to early, their incredible ability to observe and draw connections may not have made them the best survivor in the fast paced dangerous violent world they lived in. The article wraps up discussing a new discover of homosapien ruins in which they found one tomb containing a Boskop with many decorations, suggesting they simply breed with humans and were possibly viewed as wise men et. They are currently looking for genetic links in bush men. It was especally astonishing for me to learn this right after reading about the immense un-tapped potential of the human brain as illustrated by a woman who lost one entire half of hers and after a great deal of rehab is functioning normally.
