Does the size of the brain has something to do with human intelligence?

Is brain size linked to intelligence?

What is the relationship between AI and biological intelligence?
AI is becoming increasingly widespread, as are claims of its relationship with Biological Intelligence. Often these claims are made to imply higher chances of a given technology succeeding, working on the assumption that AI systems which mimic the mechanisms of Biological Intelligence should be more successful.
Do highbrow and lowbrow brains predict intelligence?
19 th -century phrenologists coined the phrases “highbrow” and “lowbrow”, correlating the brain size to intelligence. But is it true? It is true that brain sizes vary across humans and that men tend to have a slightly larger brain than women. Our ancestors Homo neanderthalensis, also had larger brains than modern humans.
