Humans are the smartest.. It's how we have been able to survive for so long...

all other species do the same and some existed long before us. heck the crocodile and sharks have been here for million of years. unchanged.

We will never be the strongest or the fastest (by natural means) but what makes us different is that we havent more brain fuctions and brain activity.

so what?

Human vs a Bear way back in the day.. the BEAR IS GOING TO WIN because a human trying to rely on physical attributes is gonna lose that battle EVERY time.. now give a human some time and experience.. Human vs Bear again..

i doubt this. still has nothing to do with intelligence.

Humans developed weapons, documented past encounters with bears, learned a bears habits and movements... HUMAN WILL WIN.... No animal species can keep up with that... They rely on instinct and physical attributes only.... Humans we can make up some physical shit.. We cant naturally fly.. MAKE A PLANE.. see what I mean?

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
