Actually an increase in brain mass would make us "stupider" as the neurons would take longer to travel (this is horribly horribly simplified, and might be dependent on contingent factors, so please look it up before accepting what I'm saying as true). Neanderthal man had a larger brain than homo sapiens if I recall correctly.
