One thing I’m confused about re: human brain efficiency is, if our brain’s advantage over apes is just scaling and some minor software tweaks to support culture, what’s that imply for Corvid brains? If you scaled Corvid brains up by the human-cortical-neuroun-count/chimp-cortical-neuoron-count, and gave them a couple of software tweaks, wouldn’t you get a biological Pareto improvement over human brains?
