I had always been thinking of this question that Why are we the only Intelligent species? Why didn't monkeys build skyscrapers? Why don't elephants use Armors to fight? I did some research and found some answers. The problem is the way we think of intelligence. There are many intelligent species on earth, each specialised in a particular task. It is not only us who are intelligent, even other apes are. Monkeys easily tackle human items such as doors to enter a house and get food. They can use sticks to get food from a deep jar. Even they are intelligent. Octopus and dolphines have great problem solving abilities. Mice can easily find ways in vast tunnels and pipes. All animals are intelligent. It is just that we have technological intelligence. Different species have different abilities and they use those to survive. Intelligence is Different for SpeciesIt is us who have formed the definition of smartness and intelligence. For us an intelligent being might be a one who can build great technologies to help do things easily. For monkeys an intelligent being might be a one who can lead the largest tribe. Each species has a different form of intelligence and every form helps the species to survive ( and that is why it exists till now). Evolution has created such diverse and different things. Each one is one of its kind and human intelligence is one of those. We are superior Because We are extremeWe are undoubtedly quite superior at intelligence from other beings. It is just because nature has created all types of intelligence and at different levels, we are just at the extremity of intelligence. Giraffes are very tall even deers, horses Nature had Played a Dice and We WON!!Evolution always creates some new randomly different species it is only that the ones which cannot survive don't live. We evolved by a random chance and were lucky that the sitiations at the time made us survive long. This proved that intelligence was a good tool for survival and gradually we evolved further to get more intelligent. ConclusionIt is not that we are the only intelligent species but there are all sorts of species good at many different things. We are good at building structures just as monkeys are good at climbing those or a tiger is at killing other animals. Also, we are lucky that we are at the extremity of intellugence.
