Humans, by humans have been widely accepted as the most intelligent beings on the planet. The ability to develop culture and transmit information rapidly are part of the reason our own species views our own species as the most intelligent animal. Arguably there are other cultured animals, dolphins, meerkats, chimpanzees and guppies display a social fabric and culture that is pretty impressive. With more research into other animals humanities spot at the top of the intelligence ladder might be under challenge. Honestly being the smartest animal will not matter if that animal knowingly destroys its own home.
With capitalism the human has created a system that is destroying their own home to generate more capital. In order to make more money humans have caused climate change and the results are now and have been disaster after disaster.

Even when faced with this truth there are many human animals that still seek profit over planet. Something to think about is this, money is imaginary and made up but the environment is not. Humans are destroying a real thing in order to get a made up imaginary thing. I am honestly to the point where I do not think humans are the most intelligent animal on the planet.
We can have a world of peace. We can move toward a world where we live in harmony with nature. Where we live in harmony with each other. No matter what nation we come from. No matter what our religion. No matter what our culture. This is where we’re moving towards.
Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall was a human who devoted her life to chimpanzees. Goodall’s research is amazing and her insight is well insightful. Her time with our closet relative taught her how to be a better human being. My Life with Chimpanzees is loaded to my Kindle and next in line with this years reading list for me. Goodall has always spoke in a way that was hopeful for the future, however she seems to be a fan of humans understanding their place in the world
Farm animals are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite having been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right.
Jane Goodall
Humans have and continue to hunt trap and kill all species of animals to include humans. Until humans stop hunting trapping killing and knowingly destroying the world they live in. I do not think it is intelligent to consider the species intelligent.
We’ll go down in history as the first society that wouldn’t save itself because it wasn’t cost effective
Kurt Vonnegut.
So if there is intelligent life on earth I do not think current humans are it. What do you think?
