In 1839, anthropologist Samuel George Morton, father of American scientific racism†, wrote Crania Americana. He reported the mean cranial capacity of the skulls by races.
Whites
87 in³ (1,425 cm³)Blacks
78 in³ (1,278 cm³)Native Americans
82 in³ (1,344 cm³)
He claimed that the level of IQ is proportional to the size the brain.
Let’s assume Samuel “The Bigot” Morton was correct.
How could he explain the abnormally large skulls consistently found in different Native American tribes?
Almost every tribe had one skull that was 1600 cm³. He systematically deleted this data because it conflicted with his hypothesis that Whites were the supreme race.
My theory is that these massive Charlie Brown-like heads must have belonged to the chiefs of the tribes. Through pain-staking research with laboratory rats and brownies packed with marijuana and microdots, I came to the conclusion that the largest cranial capacity were produced by higher THC consumption. The chiefs were in charge of peace and peace came in the form of a four-foot bowl of weed and peyote.
Look at a one dollar bill. George was a hemp lover and his noggin was gigantic.
