  Lol wtf. There wasn’t just “one guy”. It was tons of people who learnt from each other over 100s of years!

  Not really, we measure their intelligence by seeing what they are capable of doing which are usually things like problem solving and tool use which can indicate high intellect with a few examples of of highly intelligent animals like
  
  Cats
  Dogs
  Pigs
  Elephants
  Corvids
  Parrots
  Octopi
  Other great apes like Chimpanzees
  Racoons
  Dolphins and other cetaceans
  Fringed jumping spider
  
  And perhaps a few more >
  
  Ants dolphins rats >
  
  Added dolphins and thanks >
  
  Oh, primates and elephants. >
  
  ‘smart’ is complicated and nuanced and mostly subjective, and definitely relative. You are an animal. Are you smart? The gulf between humans and other animals only exists culturally, as in we’ve formed it like a religion in the recent few thousand years. >
  
  That has to be the dumbest thing I have heard. >
  
  I mean my guide dog is pretty smart in my opinion. Has saved me from being hit by silent deadly electric cars that make no noise more than once. >
  
  That is a very good dog. And guide dogs are more intelligent than other dogs. But your dog was trained to do it. It didnt figure it out on its own. It was normal that it did that because it's goal was to protect you. >
  
  I mean humans are also trained how to do most things no? Thats called school and parents.
