Shape and size of human brain in different normal persons is almost same and the average weight of a brain is about 1300 - 1400 gms.but degree of wisdom varies from person to person.why?

a lot of studies have shown that overal brain size isnt as important as complexity and size of the outer layer of the brain, the crerebral cortex.. it is pretty much known that this part of the brain carries out the complex "thought" and ability to put things together that would eventually add up to be wisdom
another huge factor, probably more important, is live experience.. not just the top layer, obvious things, but the underlying developmental processes that every human goes through
there are tons of things that shape a persons mind, ability, level of conciousness, clarity, etc

Can we talk about IQ? Partially due to family genes i believe.. But mostly still depends on the environment and experience of the child.
This made me think about another question. Do u guys think that brain size do has effect on the itelligence? According to the record, Genius Einstein has a bigger brain size than normal people..

Knowledge is just accretion of data...Wisdom is more akin to intuition...
As you seem interested in the physiognomy of the brain-we are speaking more of the linking "dendrites" organized well and orchestrating...rather than the sheer volume of neurons...
Observe the brain activity of a symphony conductor leading a composition he has composed...he will be using more of his brain and more efficiently...
Yet there are more subtle levels such as "body awareness"...not all thinking...and more precisely "intuition" is bound to the activity of the brain alone...

The morphology of the brain is mostly the same. But your preception, inteligence, memory, everything really are affected by the neuaral connections inside the brain. The connections form according to need and use and are uniqe to each individual: they depend on your personal expirience and so on.

it is not HOW BIG your brain is (since size of human brain is almost the same), it is HOW MUCH you use it.
how we brought up and how we're educated means a lot in shaping a person's thinking. if someone is learning by SPOON-FEEDING him with knowledge, he only know what's being fed to him. if he was trained to think a lot and try a lot, the accumulation of his experiences will teach him to be wiser.
it is all about how often we EXERCISE our brains.

well, there was a big debate about that within the last year with the president of Harvard, but...I don't want to get into that...
I think Sandra Cisneros said it best "We are the Sum of Our Experiences". This is where I adapt my view from, our wisdom varies because of the things we have experienced.

life experiences shape wisdom, but more information grows the brain, plus some people just have big heads =)

education, enviroment, life experiences, who you hang around --- hang out with smart people and you will have more wisdom.
