It is noteworthy that the Neanderthal had a larger brain than "modern humans". Yet evolution claims that the brain should have evolved to become larger in modern humans.

Evolution makes no claim to complexity. Evolution can make things simpler over time and it has. I already talked about viruses and bacteria, there genome sometimes getting smaller, let alone their size. Brain SIZE has little to do with intelligence. Whales have big brains too and they are pretty stupid by comparison to humans. It is all how the mind is ORGANIZED that influences how it functions. Horses have bigger brains too, elephants, etc. Evolution can favour smaller brains too...."too smart for your own good"
