"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould

I think the worse thought is that there aren't any Einsteins living in these conditions because the environments they live in are so bad that their minds have been damaged. Malnourishment and pollution can seriously screw you up.
