Episode 1 • Feb 07, 2012

Episode #1.1

Research for the intelligence of various animals shows that many species are smarter than long assumed, it just takes the right test to discover, as know too little about smart species, like the way dolphins communicate. Intelligence is proved to be a major evolutionary factor, hence influenced by environmental challenges, like human intervention. Still primates impress us most, with all kinds of intelligence, learning, creativity, in a rare chimp's case even combined visual and math intelligence no human can match.

Episode 2 • Feb 08, 2012

Episode #1.2

Most of the smarter animals are social creatures. Intelligence is needed for the intricacies of living together and communication, but also helps survive as a community. Combining the excellent results of animals in all kinds of IQ tests, and their potential given comparable education, there remains no clear basis to claim human intelligence to be uniquely superior.
