cranial range that does not overlap with the range of the species supposed to succeed it.
A similar graph taken from a book by Birdsell is similarly claimed by Goodman to show separate

The team played tones in a
range of frequencies, except those that caused tinnitus, to seven rats with the condition while stimulating their vagus nerve, a

Gould noted that the
range of
cranial volumes in the relevant subset, which made an average of 80 impossible, was «clearly indicated right alongside» the smudged number, but «I never saw the inconsistency — presumably because a low value of 80 fit my hopes for a depressed Caucasian mean.
The changes in average
cranial capacity from Morton's seed - based measurements to shot - based measurements can not be reconstructed with any certainty, incorporate erroneous seed measurements made by Morton's assistant, yielded a broad
range of changes (− 10 to +12 in3) hidden by Gould's mean, and are confounded by the shifts in sample composition (circa 50 %) between the two rounds of measurement.
As most of the adult
cranial capacity is reached by age 10 or 11, it is likely that the adult ECV of WT 15000 would be no more than about 1000 - 1050cc, which is still well within the modern human
range of about 800 - 2000cc.19 On the same page Jue points out that a brain capacity of 1400cc applies to the Vertesszöllos erectus specimen which is dated at around 350kya (kiloyears ago = thousands of years).

cranial capacity
range from about 700 cc all the way to up to about 2200 cc.»
In particular,
cranial capacity variation in human populations appears to be largely a function of climate, so, for example, the full
range of average capacities is seen in Native American groups, as they historically occupied the full
range of latitudes [18].
I have in general adopted the familiar «hardware - versus - software» analogy, using «brain» to refer to the physical structure within the
cranial cavity and «mind» to denote the
range of operations this physical structure can perform.
