My personal opinion , which agrees with much of whatīs said above, is that basically and except a few Medical cases, we are all smart and have the same brains ... just we focus on different things.
Musicians sometimes tell me "you are an Encyclopedia" or "Iīd like to know many "difficult" things as you do" , etc.
REALLY? we are all the same.
Ask the typical ball head Argentine about Football (the kind played with a ball and your ... ummmm .... feet that is ) and they can tell you , play by play (not kidding) every game played by their favourite team since at least 1925, plus all World Cups and a bunch more .
We *all* have about 100 BILLION braincells ... we fill up those "bottles" with anything we fancy.
My kids, at 6/7 years old, knew by heart all 160 (or was it 320?) Pokemons, PLUS their variations/evolutions.
And so on and on and on.
It looks unusual when somebody remembers 5000 schematics or songs or ancient battles or, why not, the whole Bible, verse by verse ... no big deal, just different focusing.
As of Evolution, itīs powerful but sllloooowwwww !!!! (at least for our idea of Time).
For any relatively important change it takes, say, 10000 to 50000 years to show detectable differences ... which means we have basically same brain as our 10000 to 50000 y.o. grandparents.
