The development of denser populations depended on farming; which was quite late: < 10k year back. There is no significant brain development differences between Native Americans and Europeans...who separated before that date. Indeed, a randomly chosen evolution site http://www.archaeologyinfo.com/homosapiens.htm states that the great migration out of Africa was roughly 200k years ago.
