It’s still typically acknowledged that the evolution of intelligence from more primitive apes to humans was mostly an increase of computational power (proportionally bigger brains) with little innovation on structures. So, there seems to be merit to the idea.
Larger animals, all things being equal, need more neurons to perform the same basic functions than we do because of their larger bodies.
