E 'happened several times that I was asked what were the most intelligent animals.
The answer is not so easy, because we should first define what we mean by intelligence.
but I found this list, compiled by some scholars:
1. Bonobo chimpanzees: it shows selflessness, patience, compassion, kindness and sensitivity. Using primitive tools. Use sex for pleasure and not only for playback. It has a complex social structure.
2. Delfino has articulated a communication, includes the relationship between cause and effect, recognizes its mirror image. Includes sentences of artificial languages.
3. Elephant lives in a family and tribal structure evolved, is altruistic, communicate with infrasound and seismic waves (from the ground for example). He also learned that hundreds of commands.
4. Dog learns from experience and solve problems. It recognizes a large number of terms (also 200) and responds to them.
5. Crow: You can build a set of "tools" to be used for hunting. Can you imagine the development of a problem, and find a solution. This is followed in this ranking order: parrot, mouse, cat, horse and octopus.
of this ranking surprising perhaps 5 instead of the crow, before the cat or horse, while I am not surprised the octopus, which has been shown to have excellent skills in the laboratory whereas it is an invertebrate.
is surprising that the dolphin is able to recognize his image in the mirror, because this is a sign of self-consciousness.
Other animals that have this feature are the man and the great apes, but among them are genetically close relatives.
The fact that an animal with a brain so different from ours has developed such a rare talent, and makes one think opens new perspectives.
For over sixty years millions of tourists and the brain of a dolphin and a primate took different evolutionary paths, but seems to be calling the same self-consciousness.
