Awake!

Provenance and verification note for Awake!
Confidence note. Not located in any form that could be opened on 19 September 2026. The Watchtower Online Library carries Awake! only from 1970, and full-text searches there for the distinctive phrases return nothing; the Internet Archive holds no 1967 volume of the magazine; no scan of the page was found. The wording in circulation was seen only on jwfacts.com. Re-checked independently on the same date: the Watchtower Online Library's index of Awake! begins at 1970, and a full-text search of that library for the phrase 'cranial capacity' returns no result in any publication. To confirm the passage, a scan or a library copy of the issue of 22 August 1967 would be needed, together with the article title and the surrounding paragraphs, since the sentence may be quoting an outside authority rather than stating the magazine's own view.
Notes. The same secondary page attributes a similar argument to a recorded public talk given in Oakland, California, in 1971 by Samuel Herd, later a member of the Governing Body. That recording was not examined and no transcript from the organisation exists, so nothing about it is recorded as evidence.
