(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 http://imgur.com/gallery/PNWTk Above is a link to a gallery I found browsing Imgur. If you don't want to read through it, the short version is that there is a chimpanzee who, after growing up around campfires and watching a documentary about early humanity harnessing fire, is now capable of utilizing matches, a grill, and a frying pan to cook food over a well-constructed fire they made. Such advancement is not unique to chimps, either. Orangutans have been demonstrated time and again to have social skills comparable to that of a human, with many videos of mother orangutans showing off their children to human mother they see on the other side of the glass in a zoo enclosure, seemingly capable of comprehending the similarities between the two species. Crows have been shown to have extremely proficient tool use, and dolphins' communication just becomes more and more complex the further we look into it. It is undoubtable that humans are the most intelligent species on Earth, and by a large margin, but said margin may not be as large as it appears.

Azure Wolf Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojydNb3Lrrs Sorry I just had to. That begin said most migrating animals have their own brand of intelligence, like in built compasses, yet are generally ignored as they can't really act like apes do, though to lack of hands and the ability to construct and act like a human. Ants and termites could be classed as intelligent from the way they build their nests/mounds. Same can be said for birds, they lack fingers and thumbs yet still build works of art. Basically humanity classes most things as unintelligent unless they act human in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a matter of intelligence more like intelligent design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I wonder what it would be like to have the same abilities that some animals have, albeit in proportion to our own size and mental ability.
