I didn't say that we are smarter.

However, a smaller brain might have been better at that time. For example, a bigger brain requires more energy.

On the other hand, death in childbirth was a major hazard for females. Although I think Neanderthals' brain size at childbirth was similar to that of modern-day babies - but later it grew faster.
